Antihypertensive therapy may not halt renal decline in hypertension; leaves open whether metabolic or hemodynamic interventions can improve outcomes.
Does antihypertensive therapy improve the prognosis for renal function in patients with arterial hypertension?
Further improvements in renal outcomes for hypertensive patients may require addressing metabolic disturbances and specific renal hemodynamic effects of drugs beyond mere blood pressure reduction.
Ruilope et al. (1992) studied this question.
