Abstract

Aim. To assess the influence of the therapy of arterial hypertension with azilsartan medoxomil on the renal function in overweight or obese patients with concomitant metabolic disorders.

Materials and methods. An international multicenter observational nonintervention prospective study included 1945 patients, taking azilsartan medoxomil in accordance with approved prescribing information. The observation period reached 6 months.

Results. In patients with an initial glomerular filtration rate (GFR)<60 ml/min/1.73 m2 or ≥60 ml/min/1.73 m2 mean change in systolic blood pressure after 6 months of therapy reached -32.5±11.1 and -30.4±13.6 mmHg, correspondingly, while the change in diastolic blood pressure was -13.7±8.8 and -14.2±9.4 mmHg, respectively. No decrease in renal function was observed. Moreover, in patients with an initial GFR<60 ml/min/1.73 m2 GFR increased significantly (p<0.001).

Conclusion. Azilsartan medoxomil, prescribed as monotherapy or in free combinations, provided an effective control of blood pressure in patients with arterial hypertension with both normal or moderately reduced and initially significantly reduced renal function. High efficacy and acceptability of the drug was associated with a beneficial effect on renal function, which allows to consider azilsartan medoxomil as the drug of choice for the treatment of hypertension in patients with concomitant metabolic disorders.
