Protocol summary

Study aim
Comparison of blood pressure changes in Hibiscus sabdariffa and thiazide groups in patients with chronic renal failure Sub-objectives: Comparison of albuminuria, proteinuria, hyperlipidemia and changes in sodium and potassium electrolytes and the progression of renal failure in the two groups of Hibiscus sabdariffa and thiazide in patients with chronic renal failure
Design
A clinical trial study with a control group, community-based and pragmatic, with parallel groups, double-blind, randomized by randomized block method, phase 3 on 64 patients
Settings and conduct
In the field of changes in blood pressure following the use of drugs in patients with hypertension, in the nephrology clinic of Sayad Shirazi Hospital, double-blind (patient and physician evaluating)

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Patients will be assigned to experimental and control groups using the random block method. To perform randomization using quadruple blocks, first by throwing 16 regular hexagons 16 times, a random sequence of 16 quadruple blocks will be generated from the following blocks: AABB-ABAB-ABBA-BAAB-BABA-BBAA In the sequence, there will be 32 of each letter A and B. According to the above block, 64 envelopes will be prepared and in each envelope, the letter A or B will be placed and will be numbered from 1 to 64. The person delivering the envelopes to the patients does not know the letters inside. Randomization is done by a statistics and methodology consultant who does not have access to patients and only he knows what is in each envelope. Patients who received the letter A will be in the intervention group and patients who received the letter B will be in the control group.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
The study is double-blind, so that all patients and physicians evaluating the interventions designed in the study or the consequences after the intervention (assistant of internal medicine and nephrology and hypertension) will not be aware of the patient grouping. The drugs used will be available in similar form and packaging so that it is not possible for anyone to identify the study group during the study process.
