Text: In the group administered telmisartan, 80 mg once daily, serum creatinine level increased from 1. 6 + / - 0. 6 to 2. 7 + / - 0. 9 mg/dL (141 + / - 52 to 239 + / - 80 micromol/L), and estimated creatinine clearance declined from 68 + / - 30 to 50 + / - 34 mL/min (1. 13 + / - 0. 50 to 0. 83 + / - 0. 57 mL/s), whereas in those administered 80 mg twice daily, serum creatinine (1. 6 + / - 0. 7 to 1. 6 + / - 0. 8 mg/dL [141 + / - 62 to 141 + / - 71 micromol/L]) and estimated creatinine clearance values (67 + / - 38 to 74 + / - 38 mL/min [1. 12 + / - 0. 63 to 1. 23 + / - 0. 63 mL/s]) did not change during the study.
