Popis: The objective of this double-blind, placebo-controlled study was to evaluate the effects of isradipine on renal hemodynamics and function. Ten patients with mild-to-moderate hypertension were given isradipine at 2.5 mg twice daily for 3 months after 4 weeks of placebo washout. Renal studies were performed 2 h after the morning administration treatment. The results of these evaluations indicate that isradipine as monotherapy significantly reduced the mean arterial pressure, while the effective renal plasma flow was increased (+16%) and glomerular filtration rate remained virtually unchanged (−8.7 ml/min)
