We examined whether thiazide diuretics could restore nocturnal blood pressure (BP) decline and reduce urinary protein excretion in patients with glomerulopathy treated with angiotensin II modulators (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers). Twenty-five Japanese outpatients (11 men, 14

Gitelman's syndrome (GS), an inherited disorder due to loss of function of ion channels and transporters such as Na-Cl co-transporter (NCCT) in distal convoluted tubules, is characterized by hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, hypocalciuria, metabolic alkalosis and hyperreninemic-hyperaldosteronism. A 39-year-old man was admitted
The administration of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) or angiotensin type 1 receptor blockers (ARBs) to pregnant women has been reported to cause ACEI/ARB fetopathy, including oligohydramios, pulmonary hypoplasia, renal insufficiency, limb contracture, and fetal hypotension in the child. Most of
We tested the hypothesis that blockade of angiotensin II type 1 receptors reduces oxidative stress markers in parallel with urinary albumin and type IV collagen excretions. Sixty-six diabetic patients with nephropathy were randomly assigned to either the angiotensin II receptor

A randomized prospective controlled study, the National Interventional Cooperative Study in Elderly Hypertensives (NICS-EH), previously demonstrated that the preventive effect of the long-acting calcium channel blocker nicardipine on the cardiovascular endpoint was similar to that of the diuretic, trichlormethiazide. The
