Lotensin use
during Kidney disease
?Patients with advanced?renal insufficiency?taking Lotensin showed
"substantial" kidney benefits.
A long term study of patients' kidney disease revealed that
patients who took Lotensin had better kidney function and a slower progression
of kidney disease.?Kidney
function?was much better in the
group of patients taking the drug than their peers who took a?placebo?drug. This is notable because this
category of pharmaceuticals have long been thought to cause further kidney
damage or increase the rate of progression for kidney disease.
According to coverage of the study on WebMD:
ACE inhibitors can pose a potential threat to kidneys as well. The
key question was whether damaged kidneys would worsen if patients took ACE
inhibitors. In a nutshell, concerns centered on blood levels of potassium and
creatinine, waste products that are excreted by the kidneys. Testing creatinine
levels in the blood is used as a way to monitor kidney function (...) kidney
problems worsened more slowly in those taking Lotensin. Overall,UGG Adirondack boots ii boot, there were no
major differences in side effects between patients taking Lotensin or the
placebo.
This study marks the first indication that lotensin, and perhaps
other ACE inhibitors, may actually be beneficial in the treatment of?hypertension?in patients with kidney disease.
