Summary by Elizabeth Haryanti MD
ASSOCIATED VERSUS INDUCED
DIABETES
Assuming CCB is
metabolically neutral, 85%
(9.3% vs 11.0%) of DM at 4
years on chlorthalidone was
not chlorthalidone-induced.
HYPOTHESES: GLUCOSE,
POTASSIUM, CVD
Glucose intolerance/hyperglycemia
(dysglycemia) with thiazide use largely
attributable to potassium depletion.
Dysglycemia correctable/preventable by K+
repletion/maintenance.
Any CVD risk with thiazide-induced
dysglycemia attenuated by K+ repletion.
POTASSIUM AND GLUCOSE:
TYPES OF EVIDENCE
5 small (total N=42) depletion studies
--Normal human subjects
--K+ by diet, diuretic, or cation exchange
--Short-term follow-up (10 d 6 wk)
Long-term observational studies in treated
hypertensive patients.
Secondary analyses of clinical trials.
FIRST CLINICAL STUDY: SAGLID,
1961
3-period sequential design (11-14 days).
5 healthy young men on prepared diet.
R = -0.54 (P<0.01)
