Should not yet change practice; leaves open whether A1 antagonism confers renal protection beyond BP lowering.
Does FK-838 reduce salt-induced hypertension and renal injury in Dahl salt-sensitive rats compared to hydrochlorothiazide?
The adenosine A1 receptor antagonist FK-838 reduces salt-induced hypertension and provides renal protection in a rat model, offering a potential advantage over thiazide diuretics.
