Abstract:
The renin-angiotensin system plays an important role in the pathogenesis and chronic progress of renal diseases. The increased plasma level of angiotensin can induce the changes of haemodynamics and diverse cytokines secreted by the kidney, and the change promotes the renal injury. How to block renin-angiotensin system has been a focus of nephrology. Recently, with the emerging of angiotensin receptor antagonist, the relationship between the angiotensin receptor antagonist and renal diseases has being realized.
