Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2: possible role in hypertension and kidney disease.

abstract：PURPOSE OF REVIEW:This review is intended to briefly describe the primary mechanistic pathways by which several common drugs can increase blood pressure. We also propose potential management strategies based on the underlying mechanisms responsible for the blood pressure elevation. RECENT FINDINGS:As hypertension is a...
