Brief summary
This phase II study examines the safety and efficacy of combination therapy for hypertension in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). This study examines the safety and efficacy of combination therapy by imidapril (ACEI) or cilnidipine (CCB) in ADPKD patients whose blood pressure is not controlled under 120/80 mmHg by candesartan (ARB) alone.
Detailed description
Maximum dosage of candesartan is 8 mg/day. Dosage of imidapril is in the range of 2.5-10 mg/day. Dosage of cilnidipine is in the range of 5-20mg/day.
Interventions
Cilnidipine up to 20 mg
Imidapril up to 10 mg per day
