[Renal effects of AT1 angiotensin receptor antagonists (AT1ra)].

RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN ANTAGONISTS: The renal effects of angiotensin II receptor antagonists (AT1 blockers) can be compared with another class of drugs inhibiting the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, i.e. the angiotensin I converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE1). SIMILAR BUT SPECIFIC EFFECTS: The renal effects of these two classes of drugs are similar but each class has specific effects explained by several mechanisms. i) The system includes a large number of active peptides (angiotensin II, angiotensin III, angiotensin 1-7) which exert various effects according to their specific receptor(s): ii) several types of angiotensin II receptors have been identified (AT1, AT2, AT4 ...). Only AT1 blockers are available in clinical practice. iii) Receptor or enzyme blockade can produce varying effects; ACE inhibition is not specific since increased bradykinin activity is associated with the suppression of angiotensin peptide generation. EXPERIMENTAL AND CLINICAL TRIALS: Experimental and recent clinical studies have shown that AT1 blockers can induce, like ACE1, hypotension, renal vasodilation and natriuresis. The definite effects on discrete renal structures (vessels, glomeruli, tubules) differ however in magnitude which may suggest specific indications according to the pathophysiological background (renal disease, congestive heart failure, etc.).
