ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
In the tubular cells of patients with polycystic kidney disease (PKD), a reduced intracellular Ca(2+) level accelerates cell proliferation, resulting in cyst formation. Thus, whether calcium channel blockers (CCB) are useful for the treatment of hypertension in patients with PKD is questionable.METHODS:
Thirty-two outpatients with autosomal dominant PKD (ADPKD) were treated at Tokyo Women's Medical University between 2003 and 2008; these patients were studied retrospectively. Periods during which the antihypertensive drug prescriptions for CCB and/or renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors (RAAS-I; including angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor and angiotensin II receptor blocker) had not been changed for at least 1 year and during which time a diuretic agent had not been prescribed were selected from among the clinical histories of the 32 outpatients. Consequently, 31 periods of 31 patients were analyzed, and mean treatment duration was 2.4 years in this study. The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was used to evaluate renal function. To evaluate the influence of CCB and RAAS-I with respect to the decrease of the eGFR, analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), including confounding factors [baseline eGFR, mean systolic blood pressure (SBP), mean diastolic blood pressure (DBP)], was used. Only CCB significantly contributed to a reduction in ∆eGFR in both a univariable ANCOVA and a multivariable ANCOVA. None of the confounding factors, RAAS-I, the baseline eGFR, or blood pressure, contributed to reductions in ∆eGFR.CONCLUSION:
These results suggest that from a renoprotective perspective, CCB should possibly be avoided in patients with PKD unless treatment for resistant hypertension is necessary.
