Predicting diuretic response in different hemodynamic profiles is challenging in heart failure patients. Worsening renal function with diuretic therapy leads to decision making more difficult. Spot urinary sodium is an important milestone to determine decongestion therapy intensity. Serum biomarkers are widely used for diagnosis and follow up but more urinary biomarkers can be identified for risk stratification.
We enrolled 61 patients with decompansated heart failure on the first day of admission. Baseline characteristics and urinary biomarkers were recorded. Diuretic response was classified as good or poor response groups according to spot urine sodium within second hour after first intravenous diuretic administration. Quantitative variables were specified as mean ± standard deviation, categorical variables were specified as frequency and percentage. Mean differences were assessed with Student-T test and Welch test. Statistically significant parameters were also assessed with logistic regression analysis.
