Saltwater solution could break deadly Heart-Kidney cycle
NCT ID NCT07596329
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 16, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether adding a small amount of saltwater (hypertonic saline) to a standard water pill (furosemide) can help people with heart failure and kidney disease. The goal is to improve fluid removal, reduce hospital readmissions, and lower the risk of death. The trial will enroll 60 adults with chronic heart and kidney problems, and compare the combination therapy against standard care.
