  Purpose

The purpose of this study is to determine whether in pre-hypertensive states such as white coat hypertension or obesity related hypertension, renal function is more sensitive to orthostatic stress.


Condition Intervention Phase
Hypertension
Obesity
White Coat Hypertension
Other: Lower body negative pressure (LBNP)
Drug: Candesartan cilexetil
Phase 4

Further study details as provided by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • sodium excretion [ Time Frame: after one hour of lower body negative pressure ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    sodium excretion will be compared to control group (healthy volunteers) after one hour of lower negative pressure. The protocol includes 2 hours of baseline measure, one hour of lower negative pressure and 2 hours of recovery


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • glomerular filtration rate [ Time Frame: after one hour of lower body negative pressure ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Other Outcome Measures:
  • renal plasma flow [ Time Frame: after one hour of lower body negative pressure ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 60
Study Start Date: May 2009
Estimated Study Completion Date: September 2013
Estimated Primary Completion Date: April 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
