Why the study?
Can a spot urine sample accurately predict poor loop diuretic natriuretic response in patients with acute decompensated heart failure?
Can a spot urine sample accurately predict poor loop diuretic natriuretic response in patients with acute decompensated heart failure?
A spot urine sample can accurately and rapidly predict poor natriuretic response to loop diuretics in acute decompensated heart failure.

May allow rapid diuretic response assessment in acute HF; hypothesis-generating pending randomized outcome trials.
In patients being treated for acute decompensated heart failure, poor natriuretic response can be predicted soon after diuretic administration with excellent accuracy using a spot urine sample.
