An association of losartan-hydrochlorothiazide, but not losartan-furosemide, completely arrests progressive injury in the remnant kidney.
    American journal of physiology. Renal physiology, 2016, Jan-15, Volume: 310, Issue:2

    We have previously shown that an association of losartan and hydrochlorothiazide, initiated 1 mo after 5/6 nephrectomy (Nx), reversed hypertension and albuminuria and promoted lasting renoprotection. In this new study, we investigated whether equal or even better protection could be obtained by combining losartan and furosemide. Nx was performed in 58 Munich-Wistar rats. One month later, tail-cuff pressure and albuminuria were markedly elevated. At this time, Nx rats were distributed among the following four groups: untreated Nx rats, Nx rats that received losartan, Nx rats that received losartan + hydrochlorothiazide, and Nx rats that received losartan + furosemide. Seven months later, Nx rats exhibited high mortality, severe hypertension, albuminuria, glomerulosclerosis, and interstitial fibrosis. Losartan treatment limited mortality and attenuated the renal and hemodynamic abnormalities associated with Nx. As previously shown, the losartan + hydrochlorothiazide association normalized tail-cuff pressure and albumin, prevented renal injury, and reduced mortality to zero. The losartan + furosemide treatment failed to reduce tail-cuff pressure or albumin to normal and prevented renal injury less efficiently than the losartan and hydrochlorothiazide regimen. The reasons for the differing efficacies of the losartan + furosemide and losartan + hydrochlorothiazide schemes are unclear and may include beneficial nondiuretic actions of thiazides, such as vasorelaxation and antiproliferative activity. These results refute the established concept that thiazides and thiazide-like diuretics are ineffective at advanced chronic kidney disease stages. Rather, they suggest that, in view of their renoprotective action, these compounds may even be preferable to loop diuretics in the management of hypertension in advanced chronic kidney disease.

Release from glomerular overload by the addition of low-dose thiazide in patients with angiotensin receptor blocker-resistant hypertension.
    Kidney & blood pressure research, 2013, Volume: 37, Issue:6

    This multicenter, prospective, observational study assessed the renoprotective effects of losartan/thiazide combination therapy in terms of lowering the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).. Adult patients with angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB)-resistant essential hypertension (n = 104) were enrolled and switched to combination therapy with losartan (50 mg/day) and hydrochlorothiazide (12.5 mg/day).. eGFR values declined significantly during the first 3 months, and changes in eGFR were assessed according to tertiles of the eGFR decrease ratio at 3 months. Only the high eGFR decrease (1st tertile) group showed significantly greater decreases in baseline eGFR and albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) during the first 3 months. Additionally, the assessment according to tertiles of the baseline eGFR showed a signifcant decrease in eGFR and ACR during the first 3 months in the high baseline eGFR (1st tertile) group, but not in the moderate (2nd tertile) and low baseline eGFR (3rd tertile) groups.. The present results revealed that losartan/thiazide combination therapy attenuated glomerular overload, indicating that this therapy may provide glomerular protection in patients with an elevated GFR without causing prolonged damage to renal function.
