Abstract

To investigate the effect of prazosin on patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN), α1‑adrenergic receptor (α1‑R) autoantibodies and refractory hypertension, a total of 126 patients with DN and hypertension were recruited. The patients were divided into a refractory hypertension group, (n=76) and a non‑refractory hypertension group (n=50). The epitope of the second extracellular loop of the α1‑R (192‑218) was synthesized and an enzyme‑linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed to detect serum autoantibodies. In the group with DN‑associated refractory hypertension, the positive rate of autoantibodies against the α1‑R was 80.3% (n=61). The 61 patients who were positive for α1‑R autoantibodies were randomly divided into a treatment group (n=31) and a control group (n=30). The patients were given drugs at the same dosage and administration, with the exception of prazosin, which was provided only to the patients in the treatment group [1 mg, three times a day (tid)] for a duration of six weeks. Subsequently, prazosin was added (1 mg, tid) to the therapeutic schedule of the patients in the control group and the α1‑R autoantibody‑negative group for another six weeks. The analysis was carried out on an intention‑to‑treat basis. The prazosin treatment resulted in significant improvements in hypertension in the treatment group (P<0.05), while there was no marked improvement in the control group. The total effective rate of hypertension improvement was 90.3% in the treatment group, which was higher compared with that of the control group (33.3%). In conclusion, α1‑R autoantibodies may play an important role in the pathogenesis of DN with refractory hypertension. Prazosin was demonstrated to be effective and safe in the treatment of DN with refractory hypertension.
