Urine sodium-guided diuretic strategy for heart failure
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to adjust diuretic (water pill) doses based on urine sodium levels in patients hospitalized for worsening heart failure. The goal is to improve fluid removal and get patients home sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are hospitalized for worsening heart failure with fluid overload (swollen legs, crackles in lungs, etc.).
- You are not in the intensive care unit.
- You do not need high-flow oxygen (3 liters per minute or more).
- You are not on dialysis and do not have end-stage kidney disease.

This study tests whether measuring sodium levels in your urine can help doctors adjust your diuretic (water-removal) medications more effectively during heart failure hospitalization. The goal is to reduce fluid buildup and improve your symptoms.
This trial uses a simple urine test to see if your current water pill dose is right for you. The goal is to find the best dose to reduce symptoms and avoid hospital visits.
This trial tests if using ultrasound to guide fluid removal (diuretics) can improve outcomes for people hospitalized with acute heart failure. It might help doctors personalize your treatment based on how much fluid your body is holding.
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 trial tests whether using ultrasound imaging of your veins and measuring salt in your urine can help doctors give you the right amount of IV diuretics (water pills) when you're hospitalized for heart failure. The goal is to improve your symptoms and recovery.
This study compares different approaches to giving water pills (diuretics) intravenously to patients with heart failure who are getting worse despite taking daily diuretics at home. The goal is to find the best strategy to reduce fluid buildup and improve symptoms in an outpatient clinic setting.
