Background: This 12-month study compared the effects of a combination of losartan 50 mg and hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg with a maximum dose of losartan (100 mg) in hypertensive patients with diabetes. Methods: This was a multicenter randomized open-label study. Results: A similar reduction in systolic/diastolic blood pressure from baseline to month 3 was observed in both groups. There was also a similar decrease in UACR in both groups. A significant decrease in uric acid was observed in the maximum-dose group only. eGFR decreased in the combination group after 1 year. Conclusions: The combination of losartan and a diuretic may be a useful option in such hypertensive patients with diabetes, provided that metabolic parameters are closely monitored. In patients with hyperuricemia and impaired renal function, a maximum dose of losartan may be more beneficial.
