Pharmacokinetics of nitrendipine in patients with renal failure: comparison to normal subjects. 1984

G R Aronoff

To determine the effect of decreased renal function on the elimination kinetics of the calcium entry blocker nitrendipine and its metabolite, we gave 18 subjects with various levels of renal dysfunction a single 20-mg oral dose of nitrendipine. Plasma nitrendipine and metabolite concentrations were measured by high performance liquid chromatography 15 times over 48 h after the dose. A compartment-independent pharmacokinetic analysis showed no difference in the absorption, elimination, or metabolism of nitrendipine between subjects with normal renal function and those with impaired renal function. We conclude that renal insufficiency does not alter nitrendipine kinetics.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007676	Kidney Failure, Chronic	The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.

D009568	Nitrendipine	A calcium channel blocker with marked vasodilator action. It is an effective antihypertensive agent and differs from other calcium channel blockers in that it does not reduce glomerular filtration rate and is mildly natriuretic, rather than sodium retentive.
