Popis: Systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) is a chronic disease of multifactorial origin and one of the main risk factors for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), which are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The pharmacological treatment of SAH involves five main classes of drugs, and Nebivolol (NEB) is one of those drugs, belonging to the class of third generation β1-adrenoceptors selective blockers. NEB is composed of a racemic mixture of two enantiomers: d-nebivolol, which exerts antagonist effects on β1-adrenoceptors, and l-nebivolol, a vascular β3 receptor agonist. There are several studies that report different actions of NEB, not only for the treatment of SAH, but also as an antioxidant agent or even as a protector of renal damage. The aim of this systematic review was to investigate the available evidence regarding the effects of NEB on kidney diseases, evaluating its possible renoprotective action.
