Summary

This study looked at whether diuretics (water pills) can help reduce extra fluid in the body and improve heart health in people with early chronic kidney disease. Researchers measured changes in heart stress markers, fatigue, and depression after 4 weeks of treatment. The goal was to gather information for future larger trials, not to prove a cure.
