Scientific title | Double Blind Crossover Comparison of Diuretics in the Young |
Study objectives | This clinical trial aims to determine whether low-renin (ie salt sensitive) hypertension at a young age is caused by the kidneys hanging onto too much salt as a result of an over-active salt pump in the kidney. The kidneys have four salt pumps, and each is blocked by a different type of diuretic (salt losing) tablet. If one of the four is overactive we would expect patients to respond much better to one diuretic than to the alternative- rather than responding equally well to all types of diuretic. The study also aims to determine genetic mutations responsible for low-renin hypertension. |
Ethics approval(s) | MREC approved on the 7th July 2006 (ref: 06/MRE05/31) |
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Topic: Cardiovascular; Subtopic: Cardiovascular (all Subtopics); Disease: Cardiovascular |
Intervention | Patients will receive, in a random order, 5 blocks of 5 week treatments consisting of: 1. Bendroflumethiazide 2.5 - 5 mg 2. Amiloride 20 - 40 mg 3. Spironolactone 50 - 100 mg 4. Frusemide 20 - 40 mg 5. A combination of bendroflumethiazide 1.25 - 2.5 mg and amiloride 10 - 20 mg There will be a forced titration from lower to the higher dose half way through each dosing period. Each phase will start with two days of placebo treatment. |
