Candesartan Cilexetil, a Novel Angiotensin II Type 1 (AT1) Receptor Blocker, Reduces Microalbuminuria in Patients with Type II Diabetes Mellitus and Mild Hypertension.

Blood pressure

Trenkwalder P, Dahl K, Lehtovirta M, Mulder H.
PMID: 28425802
Blood Press. 2000;9:57. doi: 10.1080/080370500439308.

Microalbuminuria is a predictor of nephropathy in patients with type I or type II diabetes mellitus, and interventions that decrease albuminuria are likely to postpone the development of severe renal impairment. Suppression of the renin-angiotensin system by angiotensin-converting enzyme...

AIM: Little is known about the impact of long-term use of nucleos(t)ide analogs on tubular function in patients with chronic hepatitis B. Previous studies showed that neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) elevation was associated with renal tubular injury. We evaluated...

Change of Serum BNP Between Admission and Discharge After Acute Decompensated Heart Failure Is a Better Predictor of 6-Month All-Cause Mortality Than the Single BNP Value Determined at Admission.

Journal of clinical medicine research

De Vecchis R, Ariano C, Giandomenico G, Di Maio M, Baldi C.
PMID: 27635179

BACKGROUND: B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is regarded as a reliable predictor of outcome in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). However, according to some scholars, a single isolated measurement of serum BNP at the time of hospital admission...

Response to tolvaptan and its effect on prognosis in cirrhotic patients with ascites.

Hepatology research : the official journal of the Japan Society of Hepatology
