Nephrolithiasis and arterial hypertension
open access
Abstract
Among underestimated prolithogenic elements, besides the hypercalciuria which should be treated as an important screening factor, there are some hypotensive drugs: beta-blockers, diuretics and ACE inhibitors which may cause nephrolithiasis.
There is a suggestion that nephrolithiasis and hypertension at least partially demonstrate common metabolic disturbances, they are both risk factor and a result to each other, but no such statement is mentioned in JNC VII, ESH-ESC, PTNT.
