Spironolactone is effective at treating difficult to control hypertension in the general population, and it is unknown if it is safe or effective for those with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and difficult-to-control hypertension. In a retrospective cohort design, 88 patients with difficult-to-control hypertension study were assessed for blood pressure (BP) response to spironolactone as well as for biochemical changes. In the CKD group (34 patients), the average systolic BP (SBP) fell from 153 ¡À 18 to 143 ¡À 20 mm Hg (P?= .006) compared with a fall in SBP from 150 ¡À 17 to 135 ¡À 17 mm Hg (P < .0001) in the non-CKD group (P < .0001). In 44 % of those with CKD and 59 % of those without CKD, SBP decreased by >10 mm Hg (defined as responders; P = .22). Potassium rose by 0.5 ¡À 0.6 mmol/L in the CKD group and 0.3 ¡À 0.5 mmol/L in the non-CKD group (P = .12). The overall incidence of?hyperkalemia was 5.7 % in the CKD group and 0 % in the non-CKD group (P = .07). Spironolactone is associated with a significant fall in BP among those with CKD and difficult-to-control BP. It is associated with a modest rise in serum potassium, which is more pronounced among those with glomerular filtration rate below 45 mL/minute.
