One-year results of an open-label study on antiproteinuric effect of benidipine in elderly patients with chronic kidney disease.

Conclusions: Benidipine treatment reduced the UP/cre ratio in hypertensive patients with CKD, and the percentage decrease of the UP/cre ratio was greater in elderly patients, suggesting that benidipine may have more potent antiproteinuric effects in elderly hypertensive patients with CKD.
