Summary

This study looked at 170 women with severe pre-eclampsia in the ICU to see which blood pressure drug—phentolamine or glyceryl trinitrate (GTN)—better protects kidney function. Pre-eclampsia can harm the kidneys, and GTN has been linked to kidney injury in some cases. The researchers measured kidney function tests to compare the two drugs.
