Osmotic diuretics are a class of pharmacologically inert, low-molecular-weight agents that are freely filtered at the glomerulus but poorly reabsorbed by renal tubules.
By increasing the osmolality of plasma and tubular fluid, they draw intracellular water into the extracellular compartment and hinder the tubular reabsorption of water and electrolytes, thereby promoting free water clearance and natriuresis.
Clinically, they are primarily administered parenterally for the acute management of elevated intracranial pressure, cerebral edema, and elevated intraocular pressure refractory to other treatments.
