Summary

This study tests whether a quick urine measurement after a single dose of furosemide (a water pill) can predict which ICU patients with low albumin levels will develop severe acute kidney injury. Researchers will compare this test to blood biomarkers to see which is more accurate. The goal is to find a simple, bedside tool to identify high-risk patients early.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Furosemide Stress Test (diagnostic test using furosemide)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could help doctors identify which ICU patients with low albumin are at highest risk of severe kidney injury, enabling earlier intervention.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage diagnostic study with only 55 participants. The test may not prove accurate enough for routine clinical use.
