Table 3.
Treatment response of VC patients treated with IV albumin (VC; n = 9, left panel) and VE patients with treated with diuretics only (VE; n = 10a, right panel) during phase 2. The P value represents paired t test comparison within each group before and after treatment
| Result | Patients with FeNa <0.2% and Treated with IV albumin (n = 9)
