Clinical Implications of Serum Albumin Levels in Acute Heart Failure: Insights from DOSE-AHF and ROSE-AHF

Highlights • Binding of albumin to diuretics are key to delivery to the nephron, and low albumin levels diminish intravascular oncotic pressures necessary to maintain intravascular volume for effective diuresis. • Based on prospectively collected data from two acute heart failure clinical trials (DO...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Binding of albumin to diuretics are key to delivery to the nephron, and low albumin levels diminish intravascular oncotic pressures necessary to maintain intravascular volume for effective diuresis. • Based on prospectively collected data from two acute heart failure clinical trials (DOSE-AHF and ROSE-AHF), this may not be the case in acute heart failure populations largely free of nephrotic syndrome or cirrhosis. • Our data from two well characterized cohorts of patients with acute heart failure suggested serum albumin may not be a helpful tool to guide decongestion strategies or determine effectiveness of therapy.
