A combined clinical and biomarker approach to predict diuretic response in acute heart failure [PDF]
Background: Poor diuretic response in acute heart failure is related to poor clinical outcome. The underlying mechanisms and pathophysiology behind diuretic resistance are incompletely understood.

secCl is a cys-loop ion channel necessary for the chloride conductance that mediates hormone-induced fluid secretion in Drosophila [PDF]
Organisms use circulating diuretic hormones to control water balance (osmolarity), thereby avoiding dehydration and managing excretion of waste products.

Improving Postdischarge Outcomes in Acute Heart Failure [PDF]
The global burden that acute heart failure (AHF) carries has remained unchanged over the past several decades (1). European registries (2–5) showed that 1-year outcome rates remain unacceptably high (Table 1) and confirm that hospitalization for AHF ...

The Importance of the Nephrologist in the Treatment of the Diuretic-Resistant Heart Failure
Heart failure is not only a global problem but also significantly limits the life prospects of these patients. The epidemiology and presentation of heart failure are intensively researched topics in cardiology.
