Renal protection in IgA nephropathy requires strict blood pressure control.
Primary IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common form of primary glomerulonephritis worldwide [1,2]. Although IgAN was considered a benign condition for many years, we now know that many cases eventually progress to end-stage renal failure. According to recent reviews, the actuarial renal survival at 10 years is 80–85% in most studies. Moreover, 30–40% of affected individuals develop end-stage...
متن کاملBlood pressure control in diabetic nephropathy.

متن کاملLong-term improvement in renal function after short-term strict blood pressure control in hypertensive nephrosclerosis.
Seventy-nine hypertensive nephrosclerosis patients entered a prospective randomized single-blind study to 1) establish the pattern of decay of renal function in this population and the variability therein and 2) to determine if strict diastolic blood pressure (DBP) control (less than or equal to 80 mm Hg) is more effective than conventional levels (90-95 mm Hg) in conserving renal function. Bec...

V lesions are of principal importance in the progression of various primary and secondary kidney diseases (1). In the majority of individuals with kidney diseases, vascular component, is involved secondarily in the disease process affecting primarily the glomeruli.

متن کاملEffect of strict blood pressure control on proteinuria in renal patients treated with different antihypertensive drugs.
BACKGROUND The severity of proteinuria is the main predictive factor in the progression of renal failure in chronic nephropathies. Therefore, action aimed at reducing proteinuria should be a priority in the treatment of these patients. Various antihypertensive drugs, in particular the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs), have a greater antiproteinuric effect, although it is difficu...
