title: [The influence of antihypertensive treatment on progression of chronic nepropathy].
abstract: This article describes the influence of antihypertensive treatment on the kidneys, both the acute and the long-term effects, especially with regard to the progression of chronic non-diabetic renal failure. Our knowledge about the different antihypertensive drugs is still limited, but some studies indicate that especially ACE-inhibition and perhaps calcium antagonism may have the potential to postpone renal failure.
