This study is aim to study the changes of serum creatinine levels at 72 hours after admission in patients with acute heart failure who has diuretic resistance compared to those who do not have diuretic resistance from furosemide stress test
This study is an observational prospective study to demonstrate a prognosis of acute heart failure patients who have diuretic resistance compared to those who do not have diuretic resistance from furosemide stress test.
