Abstract
Studies in heart, liver, and kidney have provided evidence that calcium is an important factor in cell injury. Calcium channel blockers are used with increasing frequency in ischemic and toxic renal failure. In this review the available data on the effects of calcium channel blockers in animal models of ischemic renal failure are presented and possible mechanisms of protective actions are discussed.Keywords
