felodipine and Kidney Failure, Chronic

felodipine has been researched along with Kidney Failure, Chronic in 10 studies

Felodipine: A dihydropyridine calcium antagonist with positive inotropic effects. It lowers blood pressure by reducing peripheral vascular resistance through a highly selective action on smooth muscle in arteriolar resistance vessels.
felodipine : The mixed (methyl, ethyl) diester of 4-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)-2,6-dimethyl-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid. A calcium-channel blocker, it lowers blood pressure by reducing peripheral vascular resistance through a highly selective action on smooth muscle in arteriolar resistance vessels. It is used in the management of hypertension and angina pectoris.

Kidney Failure, Chronic: The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Out of 139 patients who received cadaveric kidney transplants between March 1990 and December 1991 22 were treated with the CCB agent felodipine as antihypertensive therapy on admission and post transplant."3.69Early renal graft function in recipients treated with the calcium channel blocker felodipine. ( Blohmé, I; Haljamäe, U; Herlitz, H; Nordén, G; Nyberg, G, 1994)
"Felodipine is a dihydropyridine calcium antagonist which lowers total peripheral resistance and blood pressure in doses which have no effect on cardiac conduction and contractility."2.38Renal effects of felodipine--a review. ( Edgar, B; Elmfeldt, D; Nordlander, M, 1992)
"Enalapril treatment (5 mg/kg/day, n = 11) or felodipine (30 mg/kg/day, n = 11) reduced systolic blood pressure to a comparable degree."1.27Disparate effects of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor and calcium blocker treatment on the preservation of renal structure and function following subtotal nephrectomy or streptozotocin-induced diabetes in the rat. ( Cubela, R; Debrevi, L; Jackson, B; Johnston, CI; Whitty, M, 1987)
