Patients of the group of nebivolol will take 5 mg of nebivolol daily in the morning. At the end of the first month of treatment, patients classified in the normal BP range based on the results of ABPM (24h SBP/DBP < 130/80 mm Hg) will continue on the same medication scheme. Patients still classified in the stage I hypertensive range the nebivolol group will receive 10 mg of nebivolol daily in the morning. At the end of the 6th month patients classified in the normal BP range based on the results of ABPM will continue on the same medication scheme. Patients classified in the stage I hypertensive range 12,5 mg hydrochlorothiazide will be added. The end of the 12-month period from the beginning of the study indicates the completion of the project.

Patients of the group of telmisartan will take 40 mg of telmisarta daily in the morning. At the end of the first month of treatment, patients classified in the normal BP range based on the results of ABPM (24h SBP/DBP < 130/80 mm Hg) will continue on the same medication scheme. Patients classified in the stage I hypertensive range will receive 80 mg of telmisartan daily in the morning. The same procedure will be repeated at the end of the 6th month from the beginning of the study. Patients classified in the normal BP range will continue on the same medication scheme. For patients still classified in the stage I hypertensive range12,5 mg of hydrochlorothiazide will be added. The end of the 12-month period from the beginning of the study indicates the completion of the project.

Renal artery blood flow as measured by Renal Aortic Ratio (RAR) = Peak systolic Velocity renal artery / Peak Systolic Velocity Aorta. A >60% stenosis is reported when there is a >3.5:1 Renal to Aortic Ratio.

Renal Aortic Ratio

Renal artery blood flow as measured by Resistive Index. RI = (peak systolic velocity - end diastolic velocity ) / peak systolic velocity. the normal value is ~ 0.60, with 0.70 being around the upper limits of normal

A blood urea nitrogen (BUN) test measures the amount of nitrogen in blood that comes from the waste product urea. Urea is made when protein is broken down in the body. Urea is made in the liver and passed out in the urine.

Blood Urea Nitrogen

Creatinine measures the level of the waste product in the body. The amount of creatinine in the blood depends partly on the amount of muscle tissue you have. Men generally have higher creatinine levels than women.Normal levels of creatinine in the blood are approximately 0.6 to 1.2 milligrams (mg) per deciliter (dL) in adult males and 0.5 to 1.1 milligrams per deciliter in adult females. High levels of creatinine indicates kidney impairment.
