The effect of Angiotensin II Receptor Antagonist Losartan on Ambulatory Blood Pressure in Hypertensive Hemodialysis Cases

Abstract

In this study, the effect of angiotensin II receptor antagonist losartan on ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) in 28 hypertensive hemodialysis cases was investigated. The cases were divided into two groups. Seventeen cases in losartan group received 50 to 100 mg/day losartan for 16 weeks. Eleven cases in control group did not receive any medication. In all cases, predialysis 24-hour ABP monitoring was performed just before and after the treatment. In the losartan group, when posttreatment changes in the 24-hour, daytime and nighttime systolic blood pressure (SPB) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) values compared with pretreatment, the values except daytime SBP were significant decreased. But, there was only a difference between the changes in nighttime SBP and DBP when compared with control group (-%6 ± 9 vs %1 ± 4 and -%8 ± 12 vs %1 ± 7, p>0.05, respectively). After the treatment, the SBP reading rate between 140 to 160 mmHg (20%) in the losartan group was lower than the rate of the control group (70%). The diurnal variations of two cases in the losartan group were improved. The percentages of nighttime SBP reading >140 mmHg, and 24-hour and nighttime DBP readings >90 mmHg in the losartan group were significantly decreased. All cases tolerated losartan therapy well. As a result, we concluded that losartan lowered blood pressure and pressure load in hypertensive hemodialysis cases and provided better nighttime blood pressure control.
