In a crossover study of 26 hypertensive patients, the effects of triamterene (50 mg/day) and amiloride (5 mg/day) on urinary sediment were compared. Each drug was given for one month and all patients also received hydrochlorothiazide (50 mg/day). An abnormal urinary sediment--evident grossly as a reddish-brown precipitate after routine staining procedures and microscopically as characteristic reddish-brown crystals and casts, as previously described--was identified in 14 of 26 (54%) triamterene urine samples but in none of the amiloride samples. Results of renal function tests were similar for both drugs. In a clinic population of more than 1000 hypertensive patients over 4 years, interstitial nephritis was diagnosed in 4, all of whom were taking a triamterene-containing combination diuretic. It is possible that triamterene is a factor in the aetiology of interstitial nephritis.
在一项针对26名高血压患者的交叉研究中,比较了氨苯蝶啶(50毫克/天)和阿米洛利(5毫克/天)对尿沉渣的影响。每种药物服用一个月,所有患者同时还服用氢氯噻嗪(50毫克/天)。在26份氨苯蝶啶尿液样本中,有14份(54%)出现异常尿沉渣——在常规染色程序后肉眼可见为红棕色沉淀,显微镜下可见为特征性的红棕色晶体和管型,如前所述——而在阿米洛利样本中均未出现。两种药物的肾功能测试结果相似。在4年多的时间里,对1000多名高血压患者的临床观察中,有4例被诊断为间质性肾炎,所有这些患者都在服用含氨苯蝶啶的复方利尿剂。氨苯蝶啶可能是间质性肾炎病因中的一个因素。
