Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) Processes Diuretic Property

By Kyle J. Norton

The diuretic effect is the activity of substances that promote urinary secretion.

Diuretics medicines are used for the treatment of water retention or edema by removing fluids from the body.

Water retention or edema is a condition of excess fluids that build up inside your body, including the circulatory system or within tissues and cavities. 

Edema can cause swelling in the hands, feet, ankles, and legs.

Many diuretics medicine can interfere with the functioning kidney in the regulation of the levels of water in the body, leading to worsening kidney function and abnormal electrolyte levels.

Certain medications that treat conditions of high blood pressure, glaucoma, and edema can damage kidney function by overworking the kidney in water release.

Dr. Yusra Habib Khan, the lead author in the study "Chronic Kidney Disease, Fluid Overload and Diuretics: A Complicated Triangle" said, "The use of diuretics was associated with adverse renal outcomes indicated by a decline in eGFR (Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a measure of the function of the kidneys) and increased risk of (renal replacement therapy) RRT initiation in our cohort of NDD-CKD patients".

Therefore, the intake of medicine that has a negative effect on kidney function and diuretics medicine should be taken with extreme care.

Dandelion is a herbaceous perennial plant, genus Taraxacum, belongings to the family Asteraceae, native to temperate regions of the world. It has been used in traditional and herbal medicine to treat gout, eczema, acne, gall bladder, kidney, liver, and urinary disorders, hypoglycemia, dyspepsia with constipation, edema, blood pressure, and heart weakness, chronic joint, skin diseases, etc.

On finding a natural ingredient for the improvement of edema, scientists examined the dandelion diuretic effect in 17 individuals.

Participants who entered the study have a volume of urinary output and fluid intake recorded that were established 2 days prior to dandelion dosing (8 mL TID) and monitored throughout a 1-day dosing period and 24 hours postdosing.

According to the records returned by the participants, all populations showed a significant increase in the frequency of urination in the 5-hour period after the first dose.

Furthermore, a significant increase in the excretion ratio in the 5-hour period after the second dose of the extract was also reported by the participants.

However, there was no change in the measured parameters at the third dose.

Based on the evidence, researchers said, "T. Officinale ethanolic extract shows promise as a diuretic in humans. Further studies are needed to establish the value of this herb for the induction of diuresis in human subjects".

Taken altogether, dandelion may be considered a diuretic remedy, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
