Chlorothiazide resulted in a 58 mmol greater increase in natriuresis compared to loop dose intensification, indicating its superior effectiveness.
Both strategies improved 6-hour natriuresis, but the improvement was significantly larger with chlorothiazide (107 mmol) than loop intensification (49 mmol).
Patients with diuretic resistance at the loop of Henle had less natriuresis improvement with loop intensification than those with distal resistance (27 mmol vs 75 mmol).
This trial highlights that targeting the underlying mechanism of diuretic resistance does not predict a better response to either treatment.
