Implications Of Dosing IV Loop Diuretic Relative To Home Loop Diuretic In Hospitalized Patients With Decompensated Heart Failure

Intravenous loop diuretics (IVLDs) are crucial to achieve clinical compensation in acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). The Heart Failure Clinical Research Network studies have proposed dosing IV loop diuretics based on home loop diuretic (HLD) dosing and touted 2.5x dosing may not significantly affect kidney function. However, the risk-benefit assessment of these strategies in real-world setting has not been evaluated.
