Experimentell: amiloride
Participants will receive oral amiloride hydrochlorothiazide 1 tablet per day (contains 2.5 mg of amiloride and 25 mg of hydrochlorothiazide per tablet) continuously for 6 months.
Amiloride, a potassium-sparing diuretic, also an mTORC2 inhibitor, has been widely utilized in clinical settings. It can be employed as an adjunctive agent for hypertension management and has been investigated in completed clinical trials targeting resistant hypertension.

A serious adverse event (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence that meets one or more of the following criteria, regardless of suspected causal relationship to the study intervention: (1) results in death; (2) is life-threatening; (3) requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; (4) results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, or substantially disrupts normal life functions; or (5) constitutes an important medical event that, based on appropriate medical judgment, may jeopardize the patient's health or require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one or more of the outcomes listed in (1)-(4). SAEs will be actively monitored and systematically assessed at all scheduled follow-up visits (at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months post-baseline). In addition, participants are instructed to report any suspected SAE immediately to the study team via a dedicated 24/7 telephone hotline. To ensure timely detection and documentation.

In addition, arrhythmias (hyperkalemia-related), allergic reactions (rash, dyspnea), and worsening renal function have been observed. Unanticipated Adverse Device Effect (UADE): Any serious adverse effect on health or safety, life-threatening event, or death caused by or associated with amiloride, where the nature, severity, or incidence of such effect, event, or death was not previously identified in the investigational plan; or any other unanticipated serious problem related to amiloride that concerns the rights, safety, or welfare of subjects.
