[Hungarian data about the ramipril based free or fixed doses combination therapy in connection with patients adherence]

SIMONYI Gábor

[In the treatment of chronic diseases an appropriate therapeutic effect is only achieved with a long-term medication. Hypertension is no exception, because to achieve target blood pressure is of outstanding importance for the prevention of cardiovascular complications. The use of fixed drug combinations according to national and international data increases the patients adherence by 20 percent. In our article we present the one year patients adherence treated with ramipril and amlodipine free combination, ramipril/amlodipine fixed combination and ramipril/hydrochlorothiazide fixed combination in hypertension.]

[The use of beta-blockers in Hungary 2007-2014 based on data from National Health Insurance]

BARNA István, GYURCSÁNYI András

[disease, various rhythm disturbances, migraine, essential tremor case, addition to the treatment of endocrine disorders caused tachycardia and also may be used in the treatment of systolic and diastolic heart failure. Using the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) database, we analyzed changes in the turnover of beta-blockers used domestically between 2007 and 2014. At the beginning of the period more than 50% was metoprolol as the used active ingredient, the end of the period, nebivolol became the most frequently assigned active agent betablocker (29%). Besides nebivolol the use of bisoprolol and carvedilol increased, among the “old” beta-blockers the use of pindolol, bopindolol continuously decreases, propranolol and sotalolol consumption stagnant after the initial small decrease. Metabolic syndrome, disorders of carbohydrate metabolism, in case of sleep apnea the advantage of nebivolol is accompanied by the status of enhanced sympathetic activity and consequent reduction of RAS activation. Vasodilation, inhibition of plaque formation, reduction of platelet aggregation and anti-proliferative effects of nebivolol are its unique characteristics in the beta-blocker group. Improves insulin sensitivity, thus it is not characterized by a long-term side effects that cause diabetes. Effective reduction in the central blood pressure with nebivolol is likely to reduce the risk of complications in stroke and other related central blood pressure. Therefore, if the recommendations of the international and domestic support for considering it is not surprising that the use of metoprolol reduced such a large extent and how nebivolol covered the significant majority of the entire domestic beta-blockers market. Carvedilol was before the second and currently has become the 3rd or 4th most frequently used beta blocker. The decrease in the use of metoprolol undoubtedly caused by change in the recommendations, getting out of the subsidized products, and the appearance of the above known, new effective drugs.]

[Management of patients with chronic renal disease]

KULCSÁR Imre, SZEGEDI János, KISS István

[The number of patients with chronic renal disease is increasing in our country and they are about one million people nowadays. The main causes of this phenomenon are increased number of diabetic, hypertonic, overweight and elderly people, as well as the presenting of calculated GFR results. The care of patients with renal diseases is an interdisciplinary work. Most of them are under care of general practitioners, but those, who are belonging to the high-risk groups, are treated by nephrological outpatients clinics. The capacity of Hungarian nephrological outpatients departments is insufficient, and the dispersion of them is uneven. For better nephrological care, the capacity of these outpatients clinics - including the human resources - must be increased.]
