This study tests whether using a urine test to guide diuretic (water pill) dosing helps people recover better from acute heart failure in the hospital. It compares the usual approach with a more personalized, urine-guided strategy.
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.
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 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 a combination of two medicines—a salt solution and a water pill—given in an outpatient clinic to see if it helps people with both heart and kidney problems feel better and manage fluid buildup.
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.
