Table 4.

Baseline characteristics of the renal parameters found in the UNLOAD trial and CARRESS-HF trial

		Basal serum creatinine (mg/dL)		Basal blood urea nitrogen (mg/dL)
UNLOAD	Mean ± SD	IV diuretics arm (n=100 patients) 1.5±0.5	IUF arm (n=100 patients) 1.5±0.5	IV diuretics arm (n=100 patients) 33±20	IUF arm (n=100 patients) 32±16
CARRESS-HF	Median (IQR)	IV diuretics arm (n=94 patients) 2.09 (1.71–2.65)	IUF arm (n=94 patients) 1.90 (1.57–2.37)	IV diuretics arm (n=94 patients) 50.5 (39–64)	IUF arm (n=94 patients) 48.7 (39.5–66)

Note: The table denotes that basal renal function is substantially worse in CARRESS-HF trial patients compared with those enrolled by UNLOAD.

Abbreviations: IV, intravenous; n, number; IUF, isolated ultrafiltration; SD, standard deviation; IQR, interquartile range.
