Water pill showdown: does adding albumin boost urine output in ICU patients?

NCT ID NCT07417969

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares furosemide alone versus furosemide plus albumin in 56 critically ill adults with fluid overload and low urine output. The goal is to see if the combination increases urine production more effectively. Participants receive either furosemide plus a dummy shot or furosemide plus albumin, and urine output is measured after 2 hours.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
furosemide and albumin
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a better way to help critically ill patients produce more urine and reduce fluid overload.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 56 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Adding albumin also carries risks like allergic reactions or fluid shifts.
