Abstract:The effect of blood pressure reduction on the progression rateof chronic renal failure (CRF) was studied in 28 patients withCRF of diverse aetiology entering a prospective study (observationtime 7–24 months, mean 16 months). Endogenous creatinineclearance was 12–66 ml/mm (mean 30±3 ml/mm). Weaimed to keep the blood pressure below 160/90 mmlHg. Dietaryprotein was not restricted. The progression rate of CRF wasassessed from the regression coefficients of the regressionsof creatinine clearance and the inverse of s-creatinine, respectively,on time. Progression rate and the means of all recordings ofmean arterial blood pressure (MAP) and urinary protein excretion,respectively, in each patient during the prospective phase werecompared with retro spective data from the proceeding period(observation time 4–25 months, mean 19 months). The patientsreceived various combinations of antihypertensive drugs includingdiuretics, beta-blockers and vasodilatory drugs. In 19 patientsMAP decreased from 109±2 to 102±2 mmHg (groupI), whereas MAP increased from 105±2 to l08±2mmHgin nine patients (group II). In group I proteinuria was significantlylower (P<0.05) and the progression of CRF was approximately50% slower (P.<0.01) in the prospective phase than in theretrospective phase; no changes were observed in group II. Calculatedfor all patients, significant correlations were observed betweenthe change in MAP and the change in progression rate and proteinexcretion, respectively. These results indicate that loweringof blood pressure results in decreased proteinuria and retardationof the progression of CRF irrespective of the aetiology.
