Sixty-five patients with Stage III-V CKD and RAH (systolic blood pressure (SBP) 215.7±4.0 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) 114.6±2.3 mm Hg) were followed up. The patients received intravenous ebrantil (urapidil) in a dose of 25 mg for 5 days and then were switched to its oral use as 30-60-mg capsules twice daily for 12 weeks. Results. The intravenous infusion caused a significant fall in SBP and DBP by 23.6 and 16.7%, respectively, within 60-90 min. A steady-state antihypertensive effect was achieved on days 5-7 (SBP and DBP was lowered to 146.8±6.1 and 95.6±5.3 mm Hg, respectively; p
