Triple pharmacological blockade of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in nondiabetic CKD: an open-label crossover randomized controlled trial.

TLDR
Administration of an aldosterone receptor antagonist in addition to double RAAS blockade with an ACE inhibitor and ARB may slow the progression of chronic kidney disease.

Aldosterone: effects on the kidney and cardiovascular system

TL;DR: Several lines of evidence support the existence of crosstalk between aldosterone and angiotensin II in vascular smooth muscle cells, and large interventional trials that test the efficacy and safety of mineralocorticoid-receptor antagonists in chronic kidney disease are needed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms and Treatment of CKD

TL;DR: In addition to RAS inhibitors, however, multimodal approaches including lifestyle modifications and multidrug therapy will be required in most cases to optimize control of the several risk factors for CKD and related cardiovascular morbidity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Potassium Homeostasis and Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System Inhibitors

TL;DR: Patients with hypertension, heart failure, or chronic kidney disease and patients with HF or CKD are at greater risk of hyperkalemia with RAAS inhibitors than those without these conditions, and electrolyte levels should be closely monitored in patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aldosterone antagonists for preventing the progression of chronic kidney disease.

TL;DR: Non-selective aldosterone antagonists (spironolactone) combined with ACEi or ARB (or both) significantly reduced 24-hour protein excretion and increased the risk of gynaecomastia compared to ACEi and ARB.

Prediction of Creatinine Clearance from Serum Creatinine

Donald W. Cockcroft, +1 more
- 01 Jan 1976 - 
TL;DR: A formula has been developed to predict Creatinine clearance from serum creatinine (Scr) in adult males: Ccr = (140 – age) (wt kg)/72 × Scr (mg/100ml) (15% less i).

Procedures for Detecting Outlying Observations in Samples

TL;DR: In this paper, a procedure for determining statistically whether the highest observation, lowest observation, highest and lowest observations, or more of the observations in the sample are statistical outliers is given.

RETRACTED: Combination treatment of angiotensin-II receptor blocker and angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitor in non-diabetic renal disease (COOPERATE): a randomised controlled trial

TL;DR: Combination treatment safely retards progression of non-diabetic renal disease compared with monotherapy, however, since some patients reached the combined primary endpoint on combined treatment, further strategies for complete management of progressive nondi diabetic renal disease need to be researched.
