Abstract
BACKGROUND The diuretic effect of tolvaptan, a vasopressin V2 receptor antagonist, in patients with severe renal dysfunction remains poorly characterized. Thiazide diuretics reduce urinary volume (UV) in patients with nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, which lacks V2 receptor function. OBJECTIVE This retrospective study investigated the acute urinary effects of tolvaptan in patients with stage G5 chronic kidney disease and congestive heart failure (CHF), and the impact of thiazide diuretics on the urinary effects of tolvaptan. METHODS UVs 24 h before and after tolvaptan administration and 30-day dialysis initiation rate were compared between patients with and without thiazide diuretic administration. RESULTS Thiazide diuretics were used in 26 of the 106 recruited patients (age 73.4 ± 13.0 years; estimated glomerular filtration rate 8.07 ± 3.13 mL/min/1.73 m2). The pre- and post-tolvaptan 24-h UVs were significantly higher in patients not administered thiazide diuretics (1043.4 ± 645.6 vs. 1422.2 ± 774.0 mL/day; p < 0.001) than in those administered thiazide diuretics (1177.3 ± 686.5 vs. 1173.1 ± 629.1 mL/day; p = 0.93). In a multivariate regression model, thiazide diuretic use was significantly associated with decreased 24-h UV (β coefficient - 486.7, 95% confidence interval [CI] - 674.5 to - 298.8); increased urine osmolality (β coefficient 37.7, 95% CI 17.1-58.4); increased body weight (β coefficient 0.62, 95% CI 0.31-0.92); and increased 30-day dialysis initiation rate (odds ratio 3.40, 95% CI 1.18-9.82) after tolvaptan administration. CONCLUSIONS Tolvaptan exhibited significant diuretic effects in patients with CHF, including those with severe renal dysfunction, which were diminished with concomitant thiazide diuretic use.

Hypertens Res 2016; 40:364-370. [PMID: 27761002 DOI: 10.1038/hr.2016.143] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2016] [Revised: 08/25/2016] [Accepted: 09/26/2016] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Circulating renin-angiotensin system (RAS) activation is maintained after renal function has deteriorated. The activation of the intrarenal RAS plays a critical role in the pathophysiology of chronic kidney disease (CKD), independently of the circulating RAS. However, the activation of intrarenal RAS and the chymase-dependent pathway after initiation of dialysis has not been clarified. We recruited 19 CKD patients (10 without dialysis and 9 with dialysis) who underwent a heminephrectomy. Circulating RAS was investigated before nephrectomy. The levels of intrarenal RAS components and chymase-positive cells were investigated using radioimmunoassay or immunoblot analysis on samples collected from the removed kidney. Renal damage was evaluated by the extent of tubulointerstitial fibrosis. No significant differences in circulating RAS between nondialysis and dialysis patients were found. However, intrarenal angiotensin II (AngII) and the extent of tubulointerstitial fibrosis in dialysis patients were significantly increased when compared with nondialysis patients. Prorenin and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) levels were dramatically decreased in accordance with renal dysfunction. On the other hand, chymase-positive cells and AngII type 1 receptor (AT1R) expression was significantly increased in dialysis patients when compared with nondialysis patients. In multiple linear regression analyses, there were significant positive and negative relationships between the extent of interstitial fibrosis and angiotensinogen (β=0.45, P=0.042) and prorenin levels (β=-0.85, P<0.01), respectively. In summary, a decrease in prorenin and ACE expression and an increase in chymase, angiotensinogen and AT1R expression in the kidney may augment the intrarenal RAS activation and be associated with renal damage, even after initiation of dialysis.
