title: [Effects of furosemide, propranolol and nifedipine on urinary excretion of Tamm-Horsfall protein in patients with arterial hypertension].
abstract: In 65 hypertensive patients the influence of 10 day treatment with furosemide (24 subjects), nifedipine (21 subjects) and propranolol (20 subjects) respectively on urinary Tamm-Horsfall protein (U-THP), sodium and potassium excretion, 24 hour urinary volume and blood pressure was determined. In 23 control subjects the above mentioned parameters were assessed only under basal conditions. In hypertensive patients urinary THP excretion was not different from controls. In all examined groups a significant positive correlation was found between urine volume and urinary THP excretion under basal conditions. Such a correlation was absent after nifedipine or propranolol therapy respectively, but still existed after furosemide administration. No correlation was found between urinary THP and Na and K excretion respectively. In contrast to nifedipine and propranolol, a 10 day treatment with furosemide caused a significant increase in U-THP.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Urinary THP excretion in hypertensive patients did not differ from U-THP in healthy subjects. In contrast to propranolol and nifedipine, treatment with furosemide caused an increase in THP urinary excretion.
