It has a dilating effect on the glomerular arteries and reduces the intra-glomerular pressure, which is less burdensome to the kidneys, and these drugs include captopril, enalapril, and so on. 2. Calcium ion antagonists: By regulating the ion levels inside and outside the cell, they inhibit the contraction of cardiomyocytes and dilate blood vessels. It can also antioxidize and reduce the damage of hydroxyl to the kidney. These drugs include nifedipine controlled-release tablets, felodipine extended-release tablets and so on.
