HF patients treated with 200 BID spironolactone for 4 days with results demonstrating negative sodium balance and no clinically significant increases in K+ or creatinine clearance. This study sheds light on potential role of MRA in natriuresis during AHF as well as relative safety of high-dose MRA; however, due to small sample size, study needs to be replicated achieve greater power.
