Uses:EPL is a selective aldosterone receptor antagonist, it only applied to the mineralocorticoid receptor, and not the male hormone and progesterone receptor. EPL treatment for 1 and 2 of the patients with hypertension, efficiency and reduce systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure amplitude and enalapril similar. Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor inhibitor effect of poor low renin levels in patients with essential hypertension, EPL also has good antihypertensive effect. Also has better antihypertensive effect on isolated systolic hypertension, has good antihypertensive effect on diet induced obesity related hypertension. In addition, ultrafiltration EPL can significantly reduce glomerular hypertension, can reduce albuminuria, for patients with hypertension and diabetes, renal protective effect of the more obvious.
