Benazepril, treatment for patients with chronic kidney disease Review article
Main Article Content
Abstract
Aggressive treatment of hypertension slows the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Inhibition of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is a key strategy in treating hypertension and cardiovascular and renal diseases. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) are particularly beneficial in CKD patients with proteinuria of more than 1 g/day. However, ACEi are associated with an increased risk of serum creatinine rise and hyperkalemia. Increases in serum creatinine levels up to 30% should not lead to its discontinuation. Drug selection and dose adjustment according to CKD must be implemented durin ACEi treatment. Low potassium diet and diuretics can be used to avoid hyperkaliemia.
