ADPKD patients with blood pressure above 130/85 are enrolled. The patients whose blood pressure is controlled under 130/85 by Candesartan alone are classified into group A.
The patients whose blood pressure is not controlled under 130/85 with ARB alone are randomized into group B or C. In group B, blood pressure is controlled by Candesartan plus Cilnidipine. If blood pressure is not lowered by Candesartan plus Cilnidipine alone, another antihypertensive agents except CCB and ACEI are allowable.
The patients whose blood pressure is not controlled under 130/85 with ARB alone are randomized into group B or C. In group C, blood pressure is controlled by Candesartan plus non-CCB agents such as beta- or alpha- adrenergic blockers or another ARB. Any CCB and ACEI are not allowable.
