## Study objectives: To compare the safety and efficacy of u.s. food and drug administration (fda)-recommended doses of labetalol and nicardipine for hypertension (htn) management in a subset of patients with renal dysfunction (rd). ## Design: Randomized, open label, multicenter prospective clinical trial. ## Setting: Thirteen united states tertiary care emergency departments. ## Patients or participants: Subgroup analysis of the evaluation of iv cardene (nicardipine) and labetalol use in the emergency department (clue) clinical trial. the subjects were 104 patients with rd (i.e., creatinine clearance < 75 ml/min) who presented to the emergency department with a systolic blood pressure (sbp) ≥ 180 mmhg on 2 consecutive readings and for whom the emergency physician felt intravenous antihypertensive therapy was desirable. ## Interventions: The fda recommended doses of either labetalol or nicardipine for htn management. ## Measurements: The number of patients achieving the physician's predefined target sbp range within 30 minutes of treatment. ## Results: Patients treated with nicardipine were within target range more often than those receiving labetalol (92% vs. 78%, p = 0.046). on 6
