Amlodipine and selective dihydropyridine Ca2+ channels blockers of the second generation in addition to ACE inhibitors or replacing them antagonists of AT1-angiotensin receptors don’t improve clinical renal outcomes in hypertensive patients with chronic kidney disease. These drugs don’t eliminate intraglomerular hypertension that underlies hypertensive nephropathy and can have an adverse effect on the neurohormonal status of the organism, triggering the activation of the sympathetic and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone systems. The review presents the results of clinical studies evaluating the effectiveness of the use in this patients population of a new dihydropyridine blocker L-Ca2+ channels third-generation lercanidipine, dual blocker T/L-Ca2+ channels benedipine and dual blocker N/L-Ca2+ channels cilnidipine, that differ from their predecessors expressed renoprotective properties.
