Fluid Loss Patterns and Heart Failure Recovery Study
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You were admitted to the hospital for acute heart failure and received IV diuretics (water pills)
- You have signs of fluid overload, such as swelling in your legs, fluid around your lungs, or visible neck veins
- Your blood tests show elevated heart failure markers (BNP or NT-proBNP) measured in the last 24 hours
- You have had a heart ultrasound in the past 24 months
- You were taking at least 40 mg daily of oral furosemide (a water pill) before this hospitalization

This trial is for people hospitalized with heart failure and signs of fluid overload, such as swelling or fluid in the lungs. It aims to check if patients still have extra fluid when they go home, which may help improve their recovery.
This study looks at how well we can measure leftover fluid in the body in people hospitalized for heart failure with fluid overload. It aims to help doctors better manage treatment and improve recovery.
This trial studies whether drinking less fluid (restrictive) vs. the usual amount (liberal) helps people hospitalized with heart failure. It aims to find out which approach leads to better recovery and fewer symptoms.
This trial tests a new way to manage fluid levels in people hospitalized for heart failure. It aims to help doctors adjust treatment to keep you from coming back to the hospital.
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 study tests different ways of giving diuretics (water pills) to people with worsening heart failure who are not in the hospital. The goal is to find a safer and more effective strategy to manage symptoms and reduce the need for hospitalization.
