Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: Objective of the study is to prove the efficacy and superiority of amiloride for reduction of edema and overhydration in human nephrotic syndrome in comparison to standard medication with furosemide. ;Secondary Objective: Not applicable.;Primary end point(s): Decrease of overhydration (OH) after 8 days, compared to baseline. OH is measured using bioimpedance spectroscopy with the device Body Composition Monitor (Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co; BCM), and expressed as percent of extracellular water (% ECW).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: After 8 days of study medication. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): 1. Decrease of OH after 16 days 2. Decrease of body weight after 8 and 16 days 3. Decrease of edema circumference after 8 and 16 days 4. Decrease of systolic and diastolic blood pressure after 8 and 16 days 5. Increase of urine volume and natriuresis after 8 and 16 days 6. Course of plasma renin activity and serum aldosterone concentration after 8 and 16 days 7. Number of required changes of dose of study medication 8. Need for co-medication with HCT after 8 days 9. Occurrence of adverse events;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: After 8 and 16 days of study medication. | — |
