Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Patients who, in the opinion of the investigator may present a safety risk 2. Patients who are unlikely to adequately comply to the trial’s procedures (due for instance to medical conditions likely to require interruption or discontinuation, history of substance abuse or non-compliance) 3. a. Patients taking medication likely to confound endpoint assessments (e.g. NSAID or diuretics such as furosemide or spironolactone) 3. b.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To demonstrate whether hydrochlorothiazide or metformin can diminish aquaresis in patients with ADPKD who are treated with tolvaptan as measured by 24-hour urine volume. ;Secondary Objective: -To assess change in glomerular filtration rate (as measured with the iohexol plasma clearance technique) -To assess change in plasma copeptin -To assess tolerability of the study medication ;Primary end point(s): Change in 24-hour urine volume;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Baseline, and the end of each 2-week treatment period

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): -Change in glomerular filtration rate (as measured with the iohexol plasma clearance technique) -Change in plasma copeptin -Tolerability of the study medication ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Baseline, and the end of each 2-week treatment period. Adverse events: during entire study period
