Study information

Study designNon-randomised, controlled experimental study
Primary study designInterventional
Secondary study designNon randomised controlled trial
Study setting(s)Not specified
Study typeTreatment
Scientific title
Study objectivesThiazide-induced hyponatraemia is caused by impaired free water excretion either due to alterations in the Arginine Dihydrolase (ADH) - Arginine Vasopressin Receptor 2 (AVPR2) - Aquaporin-2 (AQP2) pathway or impaired renal sodium handling.
Ethics approval(s)Ethics approval received from the Medical Ethics Committee of the AMC on the 16th August 2007 (ref: MEC 07/059).
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedThiazide induced hyponatraemia
InterventionAll subjects included in this controlled experiment will receive a single dose of Hydrochloorthiazide 50 mg. After that they will be monitored for 24 hours.
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhaseNot Specified
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Hydrochloorthiazide
Primary outcome measureEffect of a single oral dose hydrochloorthiazide 50 mg intake on the serum and urine sodium, serum ADH, prostaglandin E2 and urinary aquaporin-2 excretion in elderly patients (aged 60 - 80 years) with previous thiazide-induced hyponatraemia (sodium less than 125 mmol/l) without another cause for their hyponatraemia and matched controls receiving a thiazide diuretic without hyponatraemia.

Urinary hydrochlorothiazide concentrations are measured to analyse differences in thiazide metabolism. The response to ADH will be assessed by expression of AVPR2 in a cell-culture and determine its activity by measurement of cyclic Adenosine Monophospahte (cAMP).

Outcomes will be measured at baseline (n = 0) and after 4, 8 and 24 hours.
Secondary outcome measuresTo identify (elderly) patients who are at risk of thiazide induced hyponatraemia.

Outcomes will be measured at baseline (n = 0) and after 4, 8 and 24 hours.
Overall study start date01/08/2007
