  • Method and compositions for maintaining glomerular filtration rate while inhibiting extracellular matrix accumulation
    Patent number: 6531482
    Abstract: This invention provides a method of and compositions for increasing or maintaining glomerular filtration rate while preserving renal structure in a patient comprising administering an angiotensin II type 1 vascular receptor antagonist to the patient, independent of its effects on systemic blood pressure. The invention provides that, by administering the AII type 1 receptor antagonist, blood flow to the kidney can be improved without sacrificing intraglomerular pressure and therefore glomerular filtration and that even with this enhanced glomerular pressure and filtration, renal structure is preserved.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: March 11, 2003
    Assignee: Vanderbilt University
    Inventors: Valentina Kon, Agnes Fogo, Iekuni Ichikawa
