    Abstract:
    The antiproteinuric effect of the antiplatelet agent dipyridamole has been assessed after inhibition of thromboxane B2 (TxB2) synthesis in 8 patients with confirmed membranous glomerulonephritis. There were three study periods, each of 30 days, and 45 days apart, namely a washout period, treatment with dipyridamole 300 mg/d, and dipyridamole 225 mg/d plus aspirin 150 mg/d. On Days 1 and 30 of each study period serum and urine creatinine, 24-h excretion of protein, creatinine clearance, platelet aggregometry on whole blood and serum TxB2 were measured. Treatment with dipyridamole alone or with aspirin produced significant inhibition of platelet aggregation and a fall in 24-h protein excretion; the latter amounted to 54% with dipyridamole alone and 56% with dipyridamole plus aspirin (NS). Dipyridamole plus aspirin caused an 82% reduction in serum TxB2.
