Effect of the Combination of varsartan with HCTZ on circadian BP rhythm

Not Applicable
Conditions
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
Registration Number
JPRN-UMIN000005601
Lead Sponsor
Department of Cardio-Renal Medicine and Hypertension, Nagoya City University Graduate School of Medical Sciences
Brief Summary

Of the 25 eligible patients, one had excess BP reduction during add-on HCTZ therapy and another was judged as excessive urine collection, and they were excluded from the study. Lower Na balance was produced by add-on HCTZ to ARB treatment without an increase of intrarenal renin-angiotensin system activity, leading to restoration of nocturnal hypertension.
