Personalized water pill dosing support for kidney and fluid overload
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a decision-support tool to help your care team safely adjust water pills (“diuretics”) when you have kidney disease and fluid buildup. It may help reduce swelling by guiding dosing using your home weight and blood pressure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have either heavy protein in your urine or advanced kidney disease
- You currently have fluid overload (swelling in legs, belly fluid, or fluid around the lungs)
- Your “dry weight” is at least 5 pounds less than your current enrollment weight
- You can measure and record home blood pressure and body weight, and you have a working smartphone
- You are not pregnant and you are between 100 and 300 pounds

This trial tests if using urine sodium levels to guide diuretic (water pill) dosing during hospital care for worsening heart failure can improve outcomes. The goal is to help doctors adjust treatment more effectively to clear extra fluid from the body.
This study tests a simple urine test to help doctors choose the best dose of water pills (diuretics) for people hospitalized with heart failure and leg swelling. The goal is to relieve congestion faster and more safely.
This study tests an experimental pill (JMKX003142) to see if it can reduce swelling in people with kidney disease (renal edema) who are already taking water pills. Participating may help reduce fluid buildup and improve comfort, but it's only for patients whose kidney function is not too low.
This trial tests different water pill (diuretic) strategies for people hospitalized with acute heart failure and too much fluid. It is designed for patients who may not respond well to standard water pills, to find a more effective way to relieve symptoms.
This trial is testing whether a diuretic (water pill) dose tailored to each patient works better for treating fluid buildup during a heart failure flare-up. It may help you get the right amount of medication faster and avoid complications.
This study uses lung ultrasound to help doctors decide how to give water pills to people with heart failure who have extra fluid in their body. It may help reduce symptoms and improve recovery from a heart failure episode.
