Is there a threat of blood clots from diuretics

No. Doesn't arise.

So like this! It does not arise, and that's it!

It looks like this bike came from the topic about thick blood and thrombosis. The clots in our blood vessels do not come from blood clots. This is just a play on words. Blood clots and turns into a blood clot for three universal reasons:

  1. damage to the inner lining of a blood vessel;
  2. violation in the blood coagulation system;
  3. stagnation of blood inside a blood vessel.

These reasons are called the Virchow triad. And each time the process itself is associated with blood chemistry. This is not a thickening, but complex reactions between cells and other blood components.

Well, that is, not like soup, porridge or sauce, which can be boiled and gradually boiled until thick. It is more like milk that curdles instantly in the presence of acid.

With diuretics, everything is complicated. They are not included in the list of causes that cause blood clots to form in blood vessels.

It happened that diuretics even reduced the risk of blood clots, because, due to their cunning effect on the chemistry of our body, they interfered with the process of blood coagulation.

And at one fine moment it turned out that people who lowered their blood pressure with diuretics, less often than on other drugs, received a stroke from thrombosis of the arteries of the brain. That is, again, anti-thrombotic action.

Now about the difficulties

If you bring a person to dehydration with diuretics, then you can achieve such circulatory disorders that the blood in the blood vessels almost stops, and the third cause from the Virchow triad will start.

Someone in such a situation declares the second point to be the reason, that is, a violation of the blood coagulation process itself due to loss of water. Terribly vague history and drawn theory.

In any case, brothers, it will all be somewhere inside a very sick lying person.

Well, that is, if you are not served more than half a glass of mineral water or juice on the plane, then the crew of the aircraft will not harm you. No. They just save space in the aircraft loo. So sitting still will do more harm to you than not getting enough water. And diuretics have nothing to do with it.

Do they give you enough drink on the plane?
