[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 122383, member: 3"] "...there has been a wide variety of studies conducted with losartan. It has shown benefit in controlling hypertension, decreasing proteinuria, slowing the progression of type 2 diabetic nephropathy, and decreasing the risk of stroke in certain populations. In addition, favorable surrogate markers such as decreased platelet aggregation decreased uric acid, decreased proteinuria, and regression of LVH (left ventricular hypertrophy) have also been documented. For a first in class medication, which is touted as being a weaker angiotensin receptor blocker, it has shown remarkable outcomes. " "...the overall effect of losartan on GFR can be variable, depending on whether the blood pressure remains in the renal autoregulatory range. If the blood pressure is within this range, losartan is associated with an increase in GFR (decreased creatinine). However, with low blood pressure, it may be associated with decreased, increased, or unchanged GFR."
