NCT ID NCT04170855
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether measuring salt levels in the kidneys using a special MRI can help doctors predict which heart failure patients will not respond well to water pills (diuretics). About 50 adults with heart failure and kidney disease will be scanned to compare salt content between those who respond to diuretics and those who don't. The goal is to help doctors prescribe the right dose from the start, avoiding treatment failure and side effects.
