Genes, Fibrinolysis and Endothelial Dysfunction- Dialysis Aim 2
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Placebo, Ramipril, and 1 other intervention for End Stage Renal Failure on Dialysis and Complication of Hemodialysis. Completed, enrolled 19 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Little is known about how some drugs affect inflammation or clotting factors in people receiving hemodialysis. It is not yet known if these drugs help prevent heart damage as they do in people not undergoing hemodialysis or whether they could increase the risk of heart problems. The purpose of the study is to measure certain chemicals in the blood and see how those chemicals may change during hemodialysis when certain drugs are given.

Timeline
Interventions
Patients receiving an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker before the study underwent washout for 3 weeks. Subjects were treated with study drug for 7 days and each treatment period was separated by a 3-week washout period. Ramipril was given at dose of 2.5mg/d for two days, then 5mg/d for 5 days. Valsartan was given at 80mg/d for 2 days followed by 160mg/d for 5 days. On the seventh day of each treatment blood samples were collected prior two, during and two hours after dialysis
