Testing a heart drug for fluid buildup after heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if a drug called rhBNP can help patients who are not responding well to standard diuretics after heart surgery. It aims to improve urine output and remove excess fluid.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old
- You have had heart surgery
- You have fluid overload (too much fluid in your body)
- You are resistant to diuretics, meaning high doses of water pills do not produce enough urine
- You are willing to join the trial and sign a consent form

This trial tests a device to help the kidneys remove excess fluid in people hospitalized for worsening heart failure who are not responding well to standard diuretic (water pill) therapy. It aims to improve heart and kidney function.
This trial tests whether adding a second type of diuretic (water pill) can help people with heart failure who don't respond well to their current diuretic. It aims to find better ways to manage fluid buildup.
This trial tests whether using belly pressure and bedside ultrasound can help doctors better manage fluid removal (decongestion) in people hospitalized with heart failure. The goal is to see if this approach leads to better outcomes.
This trial tests a method to guide how much fluid is removed after heart surgery using a urine salt test, to see if it helps patients recover better. If you are having planned heart surgery with a heart-lung machine, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a device designed to safely remove extra fluid from patients hospitalized with worsening heart failure. It may help those who are not responding well to standard water pills (diuretics).
This study looks at how your kidneys handle salt and water when you're treated for acute heart failure in the hospital. Researchers want to understand which patients recover well from fluid buildup and which might need different treatment approaches.
