Prediction and measurement of diuretic responsiveness after oral administration of furosemide to healthy dogs and dogs with congestive heart failure.

ABSTRACT: Background: In human patients, cumulative urine volume (uVol) and urine sodium (uNa) can be predicted using spot urine samples and these quantitative measures help detect low diuretic responsiveness (LDR).

Hypothesis/objectives: Formulas using spot urine samples predict cumulative uVol and uNa output after oral administration of furosemide to dogs.

Animals: Eight healthy dogs, 6 dogs with congestive heart failure (CHF).

Methods: Prospective interventional study. Spot urine samples at 180 and 270 minutes after furosemide (3 mg/kg PO) were used to predict cumulative uVol and uNa output over 7 hours. Differentiation of dogs fulfilling predefined criteria for LDR was examined using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.

Results: Predicted uNa output at 180 minutes (r_s =?0.763, [95% confidence interval [CI], 0.375-0.923], P =?.002) and 270 minutes (r =?0.816, [95% CI, 0.503-0.940], P
Conclusions and clinical importance: Urinary Na excretion and uVol are complementary but distinct aspects of diuretic responsiveness in dogs. Quantification of diuretic responsiveness in the clinical setting opens new diagnostic, treatment, and monitoring strategies.

Project description:Torasemide is a loop diuretic licensed in dogs for cardiogenic pulmonary oedema. The aim of this pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) study was to define an optimally effective dosage regimen based on preclinical data. In a first study, 5 dogs received once-daily oral torasemide (0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8 mg/kg/day) for 14 days. A second study compared once-daily oral torasemide (0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 mg/kg/day) to twice-daily furosemide (1, 2, 4, 8 mg/kg/day). For all doses of the second study, 11 dogs received a first day of treatment, followed by a 3 day washout and resumed daily treatment for 10 days (until Day 14). Blood and urine were collected to measure urinary torasemide excretion and plasma torasemide concentrations and daily diuresis and natriuresis. Torasemide PK was linear. After rapid absorption (Tmax 0.5-1 h), 61% of the bioavailable torasemide was eliminated unchanged in urine. Diuresis and natriuresis observed with torasemide were similar to the ones obtained after furosemide (daily dose-ratios: 1/20 to 1/10). The average diuresis increased from baseline (220 ± 53 mL/day for 10 kg dogs) to 730 ±120 mL after the first torasemide administration and up to 1150 ± 252 mL after 10 administrations at the highest dose. At higher doses (≥0.3 mg/kg/day), daily diureses after 10 diuretic treatment-days were higher than Day 1 and variable between dogs; in contrast, diureses remained constant over time and less variable for doses up to 0.2 mg/kg/day. Natriuresis peaked after the first day and decreased dramatically after the 2nd treatment-day then stabilized to a value close to baseline, except for 0.4 mg/kg/day. Urinary torasemide excretion predicted pharmacodynamics better than plasma concentrations. The decrease in natriuresis observed was successfully modeled using a resistance mechanism; this is likely due to a reabsorption of sodium which did not seem however to affect the volume of urine excreted. For a daily target diuresis of 460 mL/dog/day in severe pulmonary oedema (net fluid loss 240 mL/dog/day), a computed dose of 0.26 mg/kg/day (3.5 mg/kg/day furosemide-equivalent) was selected for clinical studies. Due to high inter-individual variability in diureses at doses ≥0.3 mg/kg, higher doses should be limited to 3-5 days to avoid supra-clinical effects in high responders.

Project description:BackgroundIt has been a matter of much debate whether the co-administration of furosemide and albumin can achieve better diuresis and natriuresis than furosemide treatment alone. There is inconsistency in published trials regarding the effect of this combination therapy. We, therefore, conducted this meta-analysis to explore the efficacy of furosemide and albumin co-administration and the factors potentially influencing the diuretic effect of such co-administration.MethodsIn accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, we searched the PubMed, Embase, Medline, and Cochrane databases. Prospective studies with adult populations which comparing the effect of furosemide and albumin co-administration with furosemide alone were included. The outcomes including diuretic effect and natriuresis effect measured by hourly urine output and hourly urine sodium excretion from both groups were extracted. Random effect model was applied for conducting meta-analysis. Subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis were performed to explore potential sources of heterogeneity of treatment effects.ResultsBy including 13 studies with 422 participants, the meta-analysis revealed that furosemide with albumin co-administration increased urine output by 31.45 ml/hour and increased urine excretion by 1.76 mEq/hour in comparison to furosemide treatment alone. The diuretic effect of albumin and furosemide co-administration was better in participants with low baseline serum albumin levels (< 2.5 g/dL) and high prescribed albumin infusion doses (> 30 g), and the effect was more significant within 12 hours after administration. Diuretic effect of co-administration was better in those with baseline Cr > 1.2 mg/dL and natriuresis effect of co-administration was better in those with baseline eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73m2.ConclusionCo-administration of furosemide with albumin might enhance diuresis and natriuresis effects than furosemide treatment alone but with high heterogeneity in treatment response. According to the present meta-analysis, combination therapy might provide advantages compared to the furosemide therapy alone in patients with baseline albumin levels lower than 2.5 g/dL or in patients receiving higher albumin infusion doses or in patients with impaired renal function. Owing to high heterogeneity and limited enrolled participants, further parallel randomized controlled trials are warranted to examine our outcome.RegistrationPROSEPRO ID: CRD42020211002; https://clinicaltrials.gov/.

Project description:BackgroundPlatelets play a central role in the development of cardiovascular diseases and changes in their proteins are involved in the pathophysiology of heart diseases in humans. There is lack of knowledge about the possible role of platelets in congestive heart failure (CHF) in dogs. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the changes in global platelet proteomes in dogs with CHF, to clarify the possible role of platelets in the physiopathology of this disease. Healthy-dogs (n = 10) and dogs with acute CHF due to myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD, n = 10) were used. Acute CHF was defined based on the clinical (increased respiratory rate or difficulty breathing) and radiographic findings of pulmonary edema. Dogs Blood samples were collected into tubes with acid-citrate-dextrose, and platelet-pellets were obtained by centrifuge and washing steps. Platelet-proteomes were identified using LC-MS based label-free differential proteome expression analysis method and matched according to protein database for Canis lupus familiaris.ResultsTotally 104 different proteins were identified in the platelets of the dogs being 4 out of them were significantly up-regulated and 6 down-regulated in acute CHF dogs. Guanine-nucleotide-binding protein, apolipoproteins (A-II and C-III) and clusterin levels increased, but CXC-motif-chemokine-10, cytochrome-C-oxidase-subunit-2, cathepsin-D, serine/threonine-protein-phosphatase-PP1-gamma-catalytic-subunit, creatine-kinase-B-type and myotrophin levels decreased in acute CHF dogs. These proteins are associated with several molecular functions, biological processes, signaling systems and immune-inflammatory responses.ConclusionThis study describes by first time the changes in the protein composition in platelets of dogs with acute CHF due to MMVD. Our findings provide a resource for increase the knowledge about the proteome of canine platelets and their roles in CHF caused by MMVD and could be a tool for further investigations about the prevention and treatment of this disease.

Project description:AimsThe outpatient diuretic dose is a marker of diuretic resistance and prognosis in chronic heart failure (HF). Still, the impact of the preadmission dose on diuretic efficiency (DE) and prognosis in acute HF is not fully known.Methods and resultsWe conducted an observational and prospective study. All patients admitted for acute HF treated with intravenous diuretic and at least one criterion of congestion on admission were evaluated. Decongestion [physical examination, hemoconcentration, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) change, and lung ultrasound], DE (weight loss and urine output per unit of 40 mg furosemide), and urinary sodium were monitored on the fifth day of admission. DE was dichotomized into high-low based on the median value. A multivariate Cox regression analysis was conducted to find predictors of HF readmission or mortality. A total of 105 patients were included between July 2017 and July 2019. Mean age was 74.5 ± 12.0 years, 64.8% were male, 33.3% had de novo HF, and mean left ventricular ejection fraction was 46 ± 17%. Median follow-up was 26 [15-35] months. Low DE based on weight loss was associated with a higher previous dose of furosemide (odds ratio [OR] 1.01 [1.00-1.02]), thiazide treatment before admission (OR 9.37 [2.19-40.14]), and lower diastolic blood pressure (OR 0.95 [0.91-0.98]) in the multivariate regression model. Only previous dose of furosemide (OR 1.01 [1.00-1.02]) and haemoglobin at admission (OR 0.76 [0.58-0.99]) were associated with low DE based on urine output in the multivariate analysis. The correlation between the previous dose of furosemide and DE based on weight loss was poor (r = -0.12; P = 0.209) and with DE based on urine output was weak to moderate (r = -0.33; P < 0.001). Low DE based on weight loss and urine output was associated with lesser decongestion measured by NT-proBNP (P = 0.011; P = 0.007), hemoconcentration (P = 0.006; P = 0.044), and lung ultrasound (P = 0.034; P = 0.029), but not by physical examination (P = 0.506; P = 0.560). Survival and event-free survival in acute decompensated HF (ADHF) were lower than in de novo HF; a preadmission dose of furosemide > 80 mg in ADHF identified patients with particularly poor prognosis (log-rank < 0.001). In ADHF, the preadmission dose of furosemide (hazard ratio [HR] 1.34 [1.08-1.67] per 40 mg) and NT-proBNP at admission (HR 1.03 [1.01-1.06] per 1000 pg/mL) were independently associated with mortality or HF readmission in the multivariate Cox regression analysis.ConclusionsThe outpatient dose of furosemide before acute HF admission predicts DE and must be taken into account when deciding on the initial diuretic dose. In ADHF, the outpatient dose of furosemide can predict long-term prognosis better than DE during hospitalization.
