Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Primary Aldosteronism Due to Adrenal Hyperplasia (Bilateral)
Interventions
Dietary Supplement: Sodium
Registration Number
NCT05649631
Lead Sponsor
Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine
Brief Summary

This study was a single-center randomized controlled trial which lasted 14 days and consisted of two stages (run-in period (stage I) and intervention period (stage II) each contain 7 days without potassium supplement. If participants meet the enrollment criteria at the end of stage I, they were assigned to the low sodium group (50mmol/d) or normal sodium group (100mmol/d), and then continued to finish stage II. The primary outcome was the change in serum potassium after exposure to normal sodium / low sodium diet and the secondary outcome was the assessment of BP change following a normal sodium / low sodium diet. Patients were given nifedipine controlled-release tablets 30 mg/d to lower blood pressure and were not provided any potassium supplements during the two stages. If the subject has an increase in BP (\>180/110 mmHg), the dose of nifedipine controlled-release tablets will be increased to 60 mg/d. Patients will be withdrawn from the study if they cannot tolerate the diet or their serum potassium were below 2.8 mmol/L.
