Acetazolamide to help heart failure patients lose fluid and feel better
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if adding acetazolamide (a water pill) to your usual heart failure treatment can help you lose extra fluid and relieve symptoms. It is for patients recently hospitalized or seen urgently for heart failure worsening.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether adding acetazolamide (a different type of water pill) to your current treatment helps remove extra fluid from your body more effectively when you are in the hospital for heart failure.
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 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.
This trial tests whether adding an oral water pill (acetazolamide) to standard IV furosemide helps people with acute heart failure who have fluid overload. It aims to see if the combination improves outcomes better than furosemide alone.
This trial tests different water pill (diuretic) strategies for people hospitalized with acute heart failure and too much fluid. It is designed for patients who may not respond well to standard water pills, to find a more effective way to relieve symptoms.
This trial tests whether taking acetazolamide by mouth can help prevent or improve worsening (decompensation) of heart failure after you needed IV water pills (diuretics). It’s mainly for adults with a recent heart-failure flare and specific heart/lab signs, while carefully excluding certain low blood pressure, kidney issues, and electrolyte or acid–base problems.
