Popis: Background: Hydro-electrolyte balance is necessary to maintain body homeostasis and blood pressure values within narrow limits. This is accomplished, in part, by renal responses. We conducted this study to determine the effects of Combretum micranthum on hydro-electrolyte metabolism, renal function and arterial blood pressure. Subjects and methods: We conducted a pilot study including 40 subjects: 10 control subjects, 10 subjects under Combretum micranthum G. Don (400 mg/day), 10 subjects under furosemide (120 mg/day), and 10 subjects under spironolactone (50 mg/day).Anthropobiometric, cardiovascular parameters and the body composition were collected from each subject. Blood and 24-hour urine samples were collected for biological tests. Results: At baseline, clinical and biological parameters were comparable for all groups. Consumers of combretum micranthum had a significant decrease in global body fat percentage (−1.63 %; p = 0.045). In the group of combretum micranthum consumers, the body water mass (BWM) is significantly evolved in the direction of an increase (4.37; p = 0.023) and similar to what was observed in the group of subjects treated with spironolactone (0.67; p = 0.042). Consumption of combretum micranthum showed a marked reduction in hypertension indices (systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and heart rate) identical to that induced by consumption of furosemide or spironolactone. The consumption of combretum micranthum resulted in a significant reduction in kaliemia (−1.07; p
