Nadciśnienie tętnicze 2011;15(4):263-268.
Abstract
Immunosupressive treatment is currently broadly used in
different areas of medicine. However immunosupressive
drugs have numerous different side effects. One of them is
arterial hypertension. Immunosupressive drugs with hypertensive
properties are calcineurin inhibitors (cyclosporine A
and tacrolimus) and glucocorticoids. In the present paper
hypertensinogenic properties of these drugs are described,
as well as methods of prevention and treatment hypertension
caused by these drugs.
