Diuretics are agents when applied to the body, will counteract the natural effects of the hormones ADH (Vasopressin or Anti-diuretic Hormone) and Aldosterone. These chemicals also can be given when other forms of water retention and/or edema occur in the body.

My mother is now taking two different diuretics to attempt to bring her water balance back into homeostasis due to her congestive heart failure. Yesterday, there was minor change in her water weight. I shall be seeing in roughly 15 minutes if there has been significant water weight loss this morning. I hope so.
