Summary

This study tests whether bumetanide is better than furosemide at removing excess fluid in adults with cirrhosis who are hospitalized. About 500 participants will receive one of the two diuretics, and researchers will measure weight loss over the first week. The goal is to find a more effective way to manage fluid buildup and reduce serious complications like kidney injury.
