About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Kidney Failure, Chronic focused on measuring Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors, type 1 angiotensin receptor antagonists, blood pressure

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 75 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria: Creatinine: 150-350 micromol/L Blood pressure > 110 systolic Negative pregnancy test for fertile women Written and oral informed consent from the patient Exclusion Criteria: Treatment with both ACE-inhibitors (ACE-I) and angiotensin receptor blockers Pregnancy or breastfeeding Treatment with immunosuppressive medication, steroids or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) Serious chronic heart failure (New York Heart Association [NYHA] III-IV) Chronic liver disease Suspicion or verified kidney artery stenosis Cardiac arrhythmia and/or implanted pacemaker Myocardial infarction or cerebrovascular incidence within the last 3 months Allergy towards ACE-I or angiotensin receptor blockers Amputation of a whole extremity or the crural or femoral part of the leg Dementia or a psychological condition that makes understanding of the examination conditions impossible Dialysis or renal transplantation Treatment with aldosterone antagonists Hyperkalemia > 5.5 mmol/l Another serious chronic non-renal disease
