New urine test could improve fluid removal after heart surgery
NCT ID NCT07077772
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether using a simple urine test to guide the dose of a water pill (furosemide) can safely and effectively remove excess fluid after heart surgery. About 102 adults having heart surgery with a heart-lung machine will be randomly assigned to either standard care or the urine-guided approach. The goal is to see if this method leads to better fluid removal and fewer complications.
