title: [New therapeutic options in renal diseases--hypotensive therapy].
abstract: Progression of a variety of chronic renal diseases may be largely due to secondary hemodynamic and metabolic factors, rather than the activity of the underlying disorder. Some of these factors can be treated, possibly preventing or minimizing further glomerular injury. An important component of this approach is antihypertensive therapy, particularly with angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and, at least in patients with type 2 diabetes, angiotensin II receptor blockers. The clinical studies supporting importance of blood pressure control in diabetic and nondiabetic chronic renal diseases and recommended treatment goals will be presented here.
