Nephrotic Syndrome
Nephrotic syndrome is a disorder of the kidneys that results from increased permeability of the glomerular filtration barrier. It is characterized by 4 major clinical characteristics that are used in establishing the diagnosis: proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, edema, and hyperlipidemia. This article reviews nephrotic syndrome in the pediatric population, with special attention paid to minimal chan…

Effects of candesartan and amlodipine on cardiovascular events in hypertensiv…
We examined the effects of candesartan and amlodipine on cardiovascular events in hypertensive patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) using the data from the Candesartan Antihypertensive Survival Evaluation in Japan (CASE-J) trial. CKD was defined as proteinuria and/or decreased GFR (o60 ml per min per 1.73m2) at enrollment. Among 2720 subjects with CKD, there were 1376 and 1344 patients…

Efficacy and Tolerability of Combination Therapy Versus Monotherapy with Cand…
Intensive blood pressure (BP)lowering is important for the treatment of hypertension; however, it has been a challenge to achieve target BP in many patients. The purpose of this study was to explore the optimal dosage of a fixed-dose combination o candesartan cilexetil (CAN) and amlodipine besylate (AML),by examining the tolerability and efficacy of CAN/AML combination therapy compared with th…

Blood pressure is reported to be insufficiently controlledin>50% of patients with hypertension. Guidelines for the management of hypertension recommend using drugs with different mechanisms of action when >1 agent is needed to achieve the blood pressure target. The combination of an angiotens inreceptor blocker and a calcium channel blockeris recommended asthe preferred antihypertensive medicat…

The Relationships Between Dose and Antihypertensive Effect of Four AT1-recept…
The relationships between dose and antihypertensive effect of the first four available AT1-receptor blockers, i.e. losartan, valsartan, irbesartan and candesartan, were assessed based on data obtained from the FDA’s evaluation reports of the respective New Drug Application files. All available randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group studies in adult men and women with mil…

Sartan- AT receptor interactions: evidence for insurmountable antagonism and …
Sartans are non-peptide AT1 receptor antagonists used to treat hypertension and related pathologies. Their effects on the G protein-dependent responses of angiotensin II (Ang II) were the same in vascular tissues and in isolated cell systems. All are competitive but, when pre-incubated, they act surmountably (only rightward shift of the Ang II concentration-response curve) or insurmountably (a…

This study was a randomized, single- blind, two-period, cross-over study which included 24 healthy adult male and female subjects under fasting conditions. The pharmacokinetic parameters were determined based on the concentrations of candesartan (CAS 139481-59-7), using ultra-pressure high-performance liquid chromatography with a tandem mass spectrometer detector. In each of the two study perio…

Effects of Candesartan on the Development of a New Diagnosis of Diabetes Mell…
Diabetes is a risk factor for heart failure, and both conditions are increasing. Identifying treatments that prevent both conditions will be clinically important. We previously reported that candesartan (an angiotensin receptor blocker) reduces cardiovascular mortality and heart failure hospitalizations in heart failure patients (CHARM: Candesartan in Heart Failure—Assessment of Reduction …

Ageing may affect drug efficacy and safety in patients with heart failure (HF). The Candesartan in Heart ailureAssessment of Reduction in Mortality and morbidity (CHARM) programme offered an opportunity to study the relationship between increasing age and the efficacy and safety of treatment in an uniquely broad spectrum of patients with symptomatic HF and either reduced or preserved left vent…
