QuestionChoice
Caffeine acts as a diuretic primarily by increasing the GFR and hence increasing urine output. It does this by preventing afferent arteriole vasoconstriction and so keeping the pressure across the glomerulus high. It also has a secondary mechanism by inhibiting Na+ reabsorption in the proximal convoluted tubule
