Can a simple pill protect kidneys and hearts?

NCT ID NCT05171686

Summary

This study tested if common, inexpensive water pills (diuretics) could help people with early-stage chronic kidney disease. Researchers wanted to see if reducing extra body fluid with these pills could lower the risk of heart problems and improve symptoms like tiredness. They measured fluid levels, heart-related blood markers, and patient-reported fatigue in 49 veterans over four weeks.
