  • Title: Effect of nifedipine on kidney and ureteral function after experimental acute unilateral ureteral obstruction.
    Author: Ghoniem GM, Dilworth JP, Roberts JA.
    Journal: Urology; 1993 May; 41(5):484-8. PubMed ID: 8488620.
    Abstract:
    Nifedipine, a calcium channel blocker, was tested for its in vivo effect on the ureter and kidney during acute obstruction. There was no discernible effect on peristalsis but glomerular filtration rate was improved. Thus, nifedipine would not be expected to decrease renal colic from obstruction.
