The effect of nisoldipine on apparent liver blood flow and effective renal plasma flow.

The effects of the acute and continued administration of the calcium antagonist nisoldipine on hepatic and renal blood flow and on renal function were studied in nine normotensive volunteers. There were no significant changes in supine blood pressure or heart rate but acute administration significantly increased both apparent liver blood flow and effective renal plasma flow. With continued administration these increases were attenuated and were not significantly different from placebo after 4 days treatment. Acute nisoldipine administration was also associated with significant increases in glomerular filtration rate and urinary sodium excretion.
