felodipine and Proteinuria

felodipine has been researched along with Proteinuria in 4 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.

Proteinuria: The presence of proteins in the urine, an indicator of KIDNEY DISEASES.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"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)
