Participant Flow

Recruitment started in September 2008 and ended in January 2010 in Vanderbilt outpatients Dialysis Center.

Three consented participants were excluded because of hyperkalemia, hypotension and uncontrollable hypertension.They were enrolled but did not start medication and were considered screen failures. The participants required a washout period from either an agiotensin receptor blocker or an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor.
