Participant Flow

Subjects were recruited from the local Boston community A total of 41 participants were consented to participate. Subsequently, 13 were found ineligible, 5 withdrew participation, 3 were lost-to follow-up, and 2 were withdrawn for non-compliance with the washout. Therefore, 18 were randomized.

An anti-hypertensive medication washout was conducted to minimize confounding of the renin-angiotensin system. ACE inhibitors, angiotensin-receptor blockers, and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, beta blockers, diuretics, and calcium-channel blockers were withdrawn for 2 weeks to 2 months prior to randomization.

Measure
Calcitriol
Subjects will receive calcitriol (titrated up to 0.75 mcg daily) for 3 weeks. Subjects have their renin-angiotensin system, renal plasma flow, and urine protein assessed at baseline while sodium restricted and sodium loaded. They will then be randomized to receive calcitriol (up to 0.75 mcg daily) or placebo for 3 weeks, and repeat assessments again while sodium restricted and sodium loaded.
Placebo
Subjects will receive placebo for 3 weeks. Subjects have their renin-angiotensin system, renal plasma flow, and urine protein assessed at baseline while sodium restricted and sodium loaded. They will then be randomized to receive calcitriol (up to 0.75 mcg daily) or placebo for 3 weeks, and repeat assessments again while sodium restricted and sodium loaded.
