Study Summary

Vascular endothelial dysfunction increases cardiovascular (CV) risk and contributes to the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonists have been shown to improve endothelial function, as well as decrease CV mortality and proteinuria. The specific biochemical pathways that produce these pharmacological effects for MR antagonists, however, are poorly understood. This study investigates the effect of MR antagonism on endothelial function in patients with moderate (stage III) CKD using a randomized, controlled trial. Three specific aims are proposed: Aim 1: To determine if spironolactone improves endothelial function as compared to amiloride in patients with stage III CKD; Aim 2: To determine if oxidative stress is associated with changes in endothelial function by spironolactone compared to amiloride in patients with stage III CKD; and Aim 3: To determine if endothelial dysfunction contributes to albuminuria in patients with stage III CKD. The clinical relevance is to improve understanding of the mechanisms of kidney function decline in CKD in order to develop interventions to delay or prevent dialysis, which would translate into alleviating patient suffering, caregiver burden, and health care costs.

Primary Outcome

The study was not able to meet its recruitment goal, and participant numbers were too low to test the intended primary outcome of "Difference in percent change of ultrasound-guided flow-mediated dilation between 6 weeks of spironolactone vs. 6 weeks of amiloride." The change in 24hr ABPM systolic BP (Baseline - 6 week) is reported here.
