İleri Böbrek Hastalığında Anjiyotensin Dönüştürücü Enzim İnhibitörleri/Anjiyotensin Reseptör Blokerleri KESİLMELİ Mİ?

Özet (abstract)

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a worldwide public health problem associated with a high prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and impaired quality of life. Previous research for preventing loss of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) has focused on reducing blood pressure (BP) and proteinuria. Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) and angiotensin II receptor antagonists (ARB) are commonly used in patients with early CKD, but their value in advanced CKD (estimated GFR (eGFR) ≤30 ml/min/1.73 m2) is unknown. There remains a debate about the omission of ACEi/ARB in patients with advanced CKD and their use in association with CVD or heart failure. Does the potential gain in eGFR with ACEi/ARB cessation outweigh the potential adverse cardiovascular outcomes? This paper reviews the current literature that addresses this issue. Several controversies are discussed. Although lowering BP reduces cardiovascular events, evidence suggests that ACEi/ARBs are not superior to other antihypertensive agents. There are no studies assessing the benefits of ACEi/ARB therapy in cardiovascular risk reduction in advanced non-dialysis CKD. The STOP ACEi trial will strengthen the evidence base and shed light on the potential merits and dangers of ACEi/ARB use in advanced CKD on renal function and cardiovascular outcomes.
