Renin-Angiotensin System Inhibitors Reduce Serum Asymmetric Dimethylarginine Levels and Oxidative Stress in Normotensive Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease

Renin-Angiotensin System Inhibitors Reduce Serum Asymmetric Dimethylarginine Levels and Oxidative Stress in Normotensive Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease

Background/Aims: The purpose of our study was to elucidate the relationship between asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) and intrarenal lesions and to determine the effect of renin-angiotensin system inhibitors (RAS-Is) on serum ADMA levels, nitric oxide (NO) synthesis and oxidative stress in normoten...
