Furosemide vs Placebo for Severe Preeclampsia After Birth
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a water pill (furosemide) helps women recover better after severe preeclampsia—a serious pregnancy complication marked by very high blood pressure. You'll be in the hospital postpartum, and researchers want to see if the medication speeds recovery and reduces complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had severe preeclampsia (very high blood pressure or related organ problems) during pregnancy
- You are 12–24 hours after delivering your baby (by any method)
- Your blood pressure and kidney function are currently stable without medications to support your heart
- You are producing enough urine naturally (more than 30 mL per hour for at least 6 hours)
- Your kidney function is good (serum creatinine less than 0.8 mg/dL)
- You have never taken a diuretic ('water pill') before pregnancy and did not take one during pregnancy

This study tests two different doses of magnesium sulfate to control seizures in overweight and obese women with preeclampsia. The goal is to find which dose works better and is safer for you and your baby.
This trial compares a common seizure medication (levetiracetam) with the standard drug (magnesium sulfate) to see which works better at preventing seizures in women with severe preeclampsia, a complication of pregnancy. If you are pregnant or have recently given birth and have severe preeclampsia or HELLP syndrome, you may be able to join.
This study looks at why some pregnant women with severe high blood pressure don't respond well to a specific medication called labetalol, which is given through an IV. Understanding these factors may help doctors better manage this serious pregnancy condition.
This study looks for genes that may be linked to severe preeclampsia, a serious blood pressure condition in pregnancy. It compares women with severe preeclampsia to those with healthy pregnancies to understand why it happens.
This study tests whether using a bedside ultrasound (POCUS) after childbirth can help doctors better manage women with preeclampsia. It looks at how well the heart and lungs are working to decide if a medicine called furosemide (a water pill) might help reduce blood pressure and prevent complications.
This trial studies whether using specific blood-pressure medicines can help people with non-severe preeclampsia stay pregnant longer. It aims to improve outcomes by treating blood pressure early while monitoring you and the baby closely.
