Bood pressure drugs could someday be used to allow damaged kidneys to repair themselves, researchers have claimed.
If successful, the treatment could cut the numbers who need a kidney transplant every year or who are on constant dialysis.
The claim is based on a study of patients given ACE inhibitors, a common set of blood pressure drugs, conducted by Giuseppe Remuzzi, Ariela Benigni, and Marina Morigi from the Mario Negri Institute for Pharmacological Research in Bergamo, Italy.
