Use of Tensiomin in hypertensive patients with impaired renal function

Tensiomin treatment was applied in 20 hypertensive patients with impaired renal function but not requiring dialysis therapy and in 18 patients undergoing regular dialysis. In patients still not requiring dialysis the slowing down of the progression of renal failure, in the dialysed patients insufficient earlier therapy were the indications of Tensiomin treatment. Tensiomin was found to be an effective hypotensive drug in both groups, the majority of the side-effects were mild and of temporary character. The progression of renal failure was slower in the non-dialysed patients compared to the control group but the differences were statistically insignificant.
