Participant Flow

47 patients were screened in a single centre (service of Nephrology, CHUV, Lausanne)

24 patients were enrolled but 4 were excluded because of the lack of adequate venous access or for other reasons.

Measure
Aliskiren
Aliskiren: Drug therapy will be started with an initial 2 weeks on Aliskiren 150 mg followed by a titration to 300 mg Aliskiren if the treatment is well tolerated. A first baseline measurements will be performed before initiating therapy and a second after 8 weeks of treatment (24h after last drug intake) to assess the chronic effect. 11 patients were enrolled and completed the study
Hydrochlorothiazide
Hydrochlorothiazide: Drug therapy will be started with an initial 2 weeks HCTZ 12.5 mg followed by a titration to 25 mg HCTZ if the treatment is well tolerated. A first baseline measurements will be performed before initiating therapy and a second after 8 weeks of treatment (24h after last drug intake) to assess the chronic effect. Finally 9 patients were enrolled and completed the study
