Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Recently, we found that an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) restored the circadian rhythm of the blood pressure (BP) from a non-dipper to dipper pattern, similar to that achieved with sodium intake restriction and diuretics. ARB enhanced natriuresis during the day, while BP was markedly lower during the night, resulting in the dipper pattern. In the present study, we examined whether or not the suppression of tubular sodium reabsorption, similar to the action of diuretics, was the mechanism by which ARB normalized the circadian BP rhythm. BP and glomerulo-tubular balance was compared in 41 patients with chronic kidney disease before and during ARB treatment with olmesartan once a day in the morning for 8 weeks. ARB increased natriuresis (U(Na)V) during the day (4.5±2.2 to 5.5±2.1 mmol/hr, p=0.002), while had no effect during the night (4.3±2.0 to 3.8±1.6 mmol/hr, p=0.1). The night/day ratios of both BP and U(Na)V were decreased. The decrease in the night/day ratio of BP correlated with the increase in daytime U(Na)V (r=0.42, p=0.006). Throughout the whole day, glomerular filtration rate (p=0.0006) and tubular sodium reabsorption (p=0.0005) were both reduced significantly by ARB, although U(Na)V remained constant (107±45 vs. 118±36 mmol/day, p = 0.07). These findings indicate that the suppression of tubular sodium reabsorption, showing resemblance to the action of diuretics, is the primary mechanism by which ARB can shift the circadian BP rhythm into a dipper pattern.
