nifedipine has been researched along with Nephrotic Syndrome in 4 studies
Nifedipine: A potent vasodilator agent with calcium antagonistic action. It is a useful anti-anginal agent that also lowers blood pressure.
Nephrotic Syndrome: A condition characterized by severe PROTEINURIA, greater than 3.5 g/day in an average adult. The substantial loss of protein in the urine results in complications such as HYPOPROTEINEMIA; generalized EDEMA; HYPERTENSION; and HYPERLIPIDEMIAS. Diseases associated with nephrotic syndrome generally cause chronic kidney dysfunction.

| "In this study we investigated whether the increase in proteinuria induced by an oral protein load may be prevented by the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) captopril in patients with nephrotic syndrome, and whether the effects of captopril on renal haemodynamics and/or glomerular selectivity are comparable to those obtained with the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) indomethacin and the calcium-channel blocker (CaCB) nifedipine." | 3.69 | Renal effects of captopril, indomethacin and nifedipine in nephrotic patients after an oral protein load.
