Differential Mortality Association of Loop Diuretic Dosage According to Blood Urea Nitrogen and Carbohydrate Antigen 125 Following a Hospitalization for Acute Heart Failure

Abstract

The risk associated with HDLDs in patients after hospitalization for AHF was dependent on the levels of BUN and CA125. The information provided by these two biomarkers may be helpful in tailoring the dose of loop diuretics at discharge for AHF.
