Participant Flow

Patients were recruited from the nephrology clinic in the Hospital General de México, between May and August 2019. All those with stage 4-5 chronic kidney disease, who had chronic use of loop diuretics and hypertension, were invited to perform an impedance measurement. Those with volume overload were invited to participate in the protocol.

Measure
Placebo
This group will receive 3 milligrams of bumetanide per day for a week plus placebo (starch) that will simulate the chlorthalidone dose of the treatment group. In case the dose is well tolerated, the dose of bumetanide will be increased to 4 milligrams per day. Bumetanide: Bumetanide
Treatment Grup
This group will receive 3 milligrams of bumetanide plus 50 milligrams of chlorthalidone per day, for a week. If the dose is well tolerated, it will be increased to 4 milligrams of bumetanide and 100 milligrams of chlorthalidone per day. Chlorthalidone: Chlorthalidone Bumetanide: Bumetanide
