Abstract:
Objective To study the therapeutic effect of diltiazem and felodipine in treatment of hypertension after renal transplantation.Methods Sixty patients with hypertension after renal transplantation who were treated with tacrolimus as basic immunosuppressive therapy were divided into two groups by random digits table method with 30 cases each.The diltiazem group took diltiazem 90 mg orally once a day.The felodipine group received felodipine 2.5 mg orally twice a day.The drug dosages were adjusted according to the level of blood pressure.The patients were followed up for 1 year.The artery pressure,concentration-to-dose ratio of tacrolimus and renal function was detected and compared.Results Blood pressure was significantly decreased in both groups after 1 year treatment.Blood pressure was found to be significantly lowered from (153.6± 7.5)/ (97.7 ±6.7) mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa) to (119.1 ± 26.4)/ (72.6± 19.3) mm Hgin felodipine group; and from (152.0 ± 7.6)/(95.4 ± 6.9) mm Hg to (120.3 ± 25.5)/(73.2 ± 22.5) mm Hg in diltiazem group.There was no significant difference in blood pressure before and after treatment between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).The concentration-to-dose ratio of tacrolimus was increased after treatment in diltiazem group[(173.2 ± 59.3) g/L vs.(119.3 ± 78.3) g/L] (P ＜ 0.05),but there was no significant difference before and after treatment in felodipine group (P ＞ 0.05).The serum creatinine had no significant difference in two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Diltiazem and felodipine can be used safely and effectively in the treatment of hypertension after renal transplantation,and diltiazem can lower the dose of tacrolimus.
