Abstract

Several classes of antihypertensive drugs can cause a fall in glomerular filtration rate and a rise in serum potassium and creatinine concentrations. Appropriate monitoring during treatment of hypertension allows potentially serious underlying conditions to be identified and adverse events avoided.
