چکیده

OBJECTIVE Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) produce a lower sodium (Na) balance, and the natriuretic effect is enhanced under Na deprivation, despite falls in blood pressure (BP) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). METHODS The effect of additional hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ; 12.5 mg/day) to ARB treatment (valsartan; 80 mg/day) on glomerulotubular Na balance was evaluated in 23 patients with chronic kidney disease. RESULTS Add-on HCTZ decreased GFR, tubular Na load, and tubular Na reabsorption (t(Na)), although 24-hour urinary Na excretion (U(Na)V) remained constant. Daily urinary angiotensinogen excretion (U(AGT)V, 152±10→82±17 μg/g Cre) reduced (p=0.02). Changes in tubular Na load (r(2)=0.26) and t(Na) (r(2)=0.25) correlated with baseline 24-hour U(AGT)V. Changes in filtered Na load correlated with changes in nighttime systolic BP (r(2)=0.17), but not with changes in daytime systolic BP. The change in the t(Na) to filtered Na load ratio was influenced by the change in daytime U(Na)V (β=-0.67, F=16.8), rather than the change in nighttime U(Na)V. CONCLUSIONS Lower Na balance was produced by add-on HCTZ to ARB treatment without an increase of intra-renal renin-angiotensin system activity, leading to restoration of nocturnal hypertension. A further study is needed to demonstrate that the reduction of U(AGT)V by additional diuretics to ARBs prevents the progression of nephropathy or cardiovascular events.

We have revealed that even in humans, activated intrarenal renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) enhances tubular sodium reabsorption to facilitate salt sensitivity and nondipper rhythm of blood pressure (BP), and that angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) could increase daytime urinary sodium excretion rate (UNaV) to produce lower sodium balance and restore nondipper rhythm. However, the sy...

Renin-angiotensin system and unilateral ureteral obstruction

Unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) is a clinical scenario that leads to obstructive nephropathy. UUO alters the expression of many mediators in the ipsilateral kidney. Renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is involved in UUO. Angiotensin II (Ang II) and angiotensin 1-7 (Ang 1-7) as the main arms of RAS influence kidney function which may alter by UUO. Ang II via Ang II receptor subtypes I (AT1R) ...

Renin inhibition with aliskiren in hypertension: focus on aliskiren/hydrochlorothiazide combination therapy

Hypertension is a major risk factor for the development of cardiovascular and renal disease. The incidence of hypertension is increasing globally and the rate of blood pressure control remains inadequate. Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) plays a crucial role in volume regulation and maintenance of blood pressure. Pathological activation of RAAS results in chronic hypertension and con...
