NCT01918488

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to determine whether a diuretic drug called amiloride is capable of increasing renal salt excretion and thereby decrease blood pressure in diabetic patients with kidney disease. Our hypothesis states that amiloride is capable of reducing blood pressure in these patients and thus decrease the cardiovascular risk associated with diabetic kidney disease.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • 24-hour urinary sodium excretion induced by amiloride

    Change from baseline urinary sodium excretion at 24 hours after amiloride administration

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Office blood pressure measurements

    Change from baseline office blood pressure at day 4 of salt diet and at 24 hours after amiloride administration

Study Arms (2)

Nephropathy

EXPERIMENTAL

Diabetics with diabetic nephropathy receiving first a standardized salt diet (200 mmol NaCl/day) for 4 days and then amiloride tablet 20 mg two times daily (morning and afternoon) for 2 days.

Dietary Supplement: Standardized salt dietDrug: Amiloride

Control

EXPERIMENTAL

Diabetics without nephropathy receiving a standardized salt diet (200 mmol NaCl/day) for 4 days, then amiloride tablet 20 mg two times daily (morning and afternoon) for 2 days.

Dietary Supplement: Standardized salt dietDrug: Amiloride

Interventions

Standardized salt dietDIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

200 mmol NaCl per day given as three meals daily for 4 consecutive days.

ControlNephropathy

Amiloride tablet 20 mg two times daily (morning and afternoon) for two consecutive days.

Also known as: Triamterene
