Abstract: AIM: To investigate the influence of irbesartan on blood pressure and proteinuria in patients with chronic glomerulonephritis. METHODS: 27 patients with chronic glomerulonephritis were treated with irbesartan for 8 wk.Blood pressure, proteinuria, renal function, serum K+, liver function, and serum lipid were detected before and after 8 wk. RESULTS: The levels of blood pressure and 24 h proteinuria were decreased significantly (P <0.01) 8 wk after the administration, but the renal function, serum K+, liver function and serum lipid were unchanged. CONCLUSION: Irbesartan shows a stable anti-hypertensive effect and can reduce proteinuria in patients with chronic glomerulonephritis.

Key words: pharmacoidynamics, irbesartan, chronic glomerulonephritis, hypertension, proteinuria
