Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To identify if there is more effective diuresis, measured as change in cumulative fluid balance between baseline and at end of intervention of at least 750 ml, when furosemide is co-administered with albumin compared to furosemide alone. <br/ ><br>Timepoint: 72 hours
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod

Change in Serum albumin, sodium,potassium,creatinine <br/ ><br>4. Incidence of Acute kidney injury <br/ ><br>5. Cumulative furosemide dose administered . <br/ ><br>6. Incidence of hypotension. <br/ ><br>7. Incidence of hypernatremia <br/ ><br>8. 28 day mortality <br/ ><br>9. Length of ICU stay. <br/ ><br>10. Change in PaO2/FiO2 ratio during intervention period. <br/ ><br>11. Ventilator free days till 28 days /ICU discharge <br/ ><br>Timepoint: 72 hours for secondary outcomes 1 to 7th. <br/ ><br> <br/ ><br>28 days for secondary outcomes 8 to 11th.
