Read our Heart Failure research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Heart failure often causes the body to retain too much salt and fluid, which doctors treat with water pills called loop diuretics. This trial is testing whether a quick urine test—done right at the doctor's office—can help doctors adjust your water pill dose more accurately and safely than traditional methods alone.
Currently, doctors adjust water pill doses based mostly on symptoms and their clinical judgment, which can lead to doses that are either too high or too low. A simple urine test that measures salt levels could give doctors an objective, scientific way to personalize your treatment and help you feel better while reducing unnecessary medication.

You will have baseline visits where doctors assess your heart failure status and take a urine sample to measure salt levels. Depending on which group you're in, you'll either receive personalized water pill adjustments based on urine test results, continue with standard care, or simply be monitored with routine follow-up visits. You'll return for scheduled check-ins where additional urine samples will be collected and your symptoms and weight will be tracked.
