ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the effects of valsartan and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors on the excretion rate of urinary albumm(UAER) and the clearance of endogenous creatinine(Cr-C) in elderly patients.Methods 120 elderly patients with stage of the 2～3 class hypertension were included.The patients were divided into 3 groups,the valsartan group and the benazpril group and captopril group,the anti-hypertensive effects and UAER and Cr-C were determined before and after the treatment.Results No significantly different anti-hypertensive effects were observed in valsartan,benazpril and captopril.But the effects of UAER,Cr-C in valsartan group had significant changes compared with the other groups,and the three groups had significant differentiation(P
