Summary
This trial tests an experimental drug called JMKX003142 in people with kidney-related swelling (edema) that doesn't improve with standard diuretics. Participants take the drug or a placebo once daily for seven days. The study measures changes in body weight, urine output, and leg swelling to see if the drug helps remove excess fluid.
