Why the study?
Does baseline serum albumin ≤ 3 g/dl predict worsening renal function in patients with acute decompensated heart failure receiving continuous infusion loop diuretics?
Does baseline serum albumin ≤ 3 g/dl predict worsening renal function in patients with acute decompensated heart failure receiving continuous infusion loop diuretics?
Baseline serum albumin ≤ 3 g/dl is a strong predictor of worsening renal function in patients with acute decompensated heart failure treated with continuous loop diuretics.

May flag high-risk ADHF patients for closer monitoring; leaves open whether albumin repletion alters renal outcomes.
