Clinical Implication of the Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone Blockers in Chronic Kidney Disease Undergoing Hemodialysis

The Open Cardiovascular Medicine Journal 7 Feb 2014 RESEARCH ARTICLE DOI: 10.2174/1874192401408010006

Abstract

The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) blockers have been widely used in chronic kidney disease patients undergoing hemodialysis; however, whether RAAS blockers have beneficial effects for cardiovascular disease in those patients has not been fully defined. This review focuses on the effects of RAAS blockers in chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis for cardiovascular disease.

Keywords: Hemodialysis, clinical study, renin, angiotensin I, angiotensin II, aldosterone, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, angiotensin receptor blockers, direct renin inhibitor, cardiovascular disease..
