title: [Effectiveness of nifedipine in the treatment of arterial hypertension in various types of diabetes mellitus].
abstract: Selection of indications and the general tactics of nifedipine monotherapy of hypertension in diabetic subjects is not clearly established, as yet. It refers specifically to different forms and phases of diabetes mellitus. This was the reason to carry out a respective study. In 4 groups of hypertension: 1) in diabetics without vascular complications, 2) in diabetic nephropathy, 3) in diabetics type II without nephropathy, and 4) in comparative group of subjects without diabetes mellitus, a 6-week controlled, open trial was performed. Before, during and after nifedipine (3 X 10-20 mg p.d.), the following parameters were monitored: 1) systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressures, 2) glycaemic indices of diabetes control, 3) serum cholesterol: total, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, 4) daily albuminuria and GFR, 5) adverse reactions to nifedipine. It could be concluded that nifedipine therapy was relatively most effective and safe in hypertensive diabetics type II without nephropathy. It was less effective in diabetics type I without nephropathy and failed in diabetics type I with nephropathy.
