---|---|
Experimental: Chronic Kidney Disease
Propranolol, Losartan, and Eprosartan will be administered to patients who have been diagnosed with Chronic Kidney disease and have a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) below 40ml/min.
|
Drug: Propranolol
Propranolol 40mg PO will be given with 6oz of water.Blood samples will be obtained for 12 hours to determine the medication concentration in the plasma. There is no therapeutic effect on this study, since patients will receive a low single dose of the medication, and we'll assess the different pharmacokinetic parameters based on the concentrations of the medicine in plasma.
Other Names:
Drug: Losartan Losartan 50mg PO will be given with 6oz of water. Blood samples will be obtained for 12 hours to determine the medication concentration in the plasma. There is no therapeutic effect on this study, since patients will receive a low single dose of the medication, and we'll assess the different pharmacokinetic parameters based on the concentrations of the medicine in plasma.
Other Names:
Drug: Eprosartan Erythromycin 125mg PO will be given with 6oz of water. Blood samples will be obtained for 12 hours to determine the medication concentration in the plasma. There is no therapeutic effect on this study, since patients will receive a low single dose of the medication, and we'll assess the different pharmacokinetic parameters based on the concentrations of the medicine in plasma.

Experimental: Healthy Volunteers
Propranolol, Losartan, and Eprosartan will be administered to healthy volunteers without chronic kidney disease.

- Pharmacokinetic parameters [ Time Frame: 3 weeks ]Three 12-hour days visits (on different weeks) will be investigated to obtain blood samples for 12 hours for three different medications. Blood samples will be obtained to determine the medication concentration in the plasma. There is no therapeutic effect on this study, since patients will receive a low single dose of the medication, and we'll assess the different pharmacokinetic parameters based on the concentrations of the medicine in plasma.
