Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To assess whether a dosing strategy of loop diuretics guided by plasma levels of CA125 is superior to a strategy of standard dosage of loop diuretics regarding improving renal function and/or prevent renal deterioration at 24 and 72 hours after admission.;Secondary Objective: 1. Resolution of the breathlessness (changes in New York Heart Association functional class), signs of systemic congestion and patient global assessment (by visual analogue scale VAS) at 24 and 72 hours after admission. 2. Changes in plasma levels of natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and high-sensitivity troponin 72 hours after admission. 3. Reduction of hospital stay and the time required for the passage of intravenous to oral diuretic administration. 4. Changes in systemic bioimpedance 72 hours after admission. 5. Clinical events: combined adverse event of death/rehospitalization for AHF at 30 days. 6. Parameters of renal function (creatinine, urea, NGAL and Cystatin C) at 30 days.;Primary end point(s): The worsening and improvement of renal function is defined as an increase or decrease in the figures of creatinine ?0.3 mg/dl, respectively.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 24 and 72 hours and 30 days

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): 1. Functional class, defined by the New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class. 2. The overall assessment of the patient will be assessed by visual analogue scale (VAS). 3. hsTnT and natriuretic peptides will be evaluated using commercial reagents as used in routine clinical practice. 3. Systemic bioimpedance will be assessed at admission and 72 hours using the bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA). 4. Clinical adverse events considered are death from any cause or readmission for AHF the first 30 days after admission.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 24 and 72 hours and 30 days
