There is a growing body of evidence that advanced glycation end products (AGE) and their receptor (RAGE) system are implicated in chronic kidney disease (CKD). We have previously found that a long-acting calcium channel blocker, azelnidipine, but not amlodipine, improves renal injury in CKD patients. However, little is known about the effect of azelnidipine on the AGE-RAGE axis in humans. In this study, we examined whether azelnidipine addition could have renoprotective properties in hypertensive CKD patients by reducing serum levels of AGE and soluble form of RAGE (sRAGE). Thirty nondiabetic stage I or II CKD patients who had already been treated with angiotensin II receptor blockers were enrolled in this study.
