Dual RAAS Blockade RAAS inhibitors do not completely inhibit RAAS activity Inhibition at 2 points in the cascade may provide greater benefits Studies have been initiated to test this theory –ACEI + ARB Further BP reduction in some Further reduction of proteinuria a No consistent additional CV benefit –VALIANT –CHARM-Added –ONTARGET –Renin inhibitor + ARB Further BP reduction in some Further reduction of proteinuria a Trials planned to assess CV outcomes –ALTITUDE –ATMOSPHERE a Thought to be related to better outcomes, particularly in advanced proteinuric kidney disease.

Aldosterone Blockers Added to ACEIs or ARBs in CKD Systematic review –Studies in patients with proteinuric kidney disease –Primary outcome: changes in proteinuria –Secondary outcomes: changes in BP and glomerular filtration –15 studies included Outcomes following addition of aldosterone blockers –15-54% decrease in proteinuria from baseline –Significant BP decrease (≈40%) –Significant decrease in glomerular filtration rate (≈ 25%) –Hyperkalemic events significant in 1 of 8 RCTs Bomback AS, et al.

Summary Recommendations:Goal BP DM without proteinuria< 140/90 mmHg DM with proteinuria< 130/80 mmHg CKD without proteinuria< 140/90 mmHg CKD with proteinuria< 130/80 mmHG Proteinuria is greater than 500 mg/day. Microalbuminuria is treated as those without proteinuria.

Summary (cont.) Recommendations:Goal BP CKD with known CVD weaker recommendation < 140/90 mmHg mmHg systolic* Patients with known ASCVD (PVD, CVD) weaker recommendation < 140/90 mmHg mmHg systolic* Elderly: < 80 years old< 140 mmHg systolic > 80 years old< 150/80 mmHg systolic *If without producing side effects.

Summary (cont.) ACEIs and ARBs are recognized as agents that improve hypertension, CV outcomes, and renal outcomes in patients with proteinuric nephropathy Benefits on renal outcomes in advanced proteinuric kidney disease using ACEI + ARB combination in patients with diabetes will be clear in 2013 with results of NEPHRON-D Use of Combined RAAS inhibitor with CCB appears to be better tolerated and result in fewer CV/renal events in people at high CV risk without proteinuric nephropathy No CV or renal outcome data, as of yet, on renin inhibition + ACEI or ARB

(if systolic BP >20 mmHg above goal) START with ACEI or ARB + thiazide diuretic* or CCB If BP Still Not at Goal (130/80 mm Hg) Consider and Aldosterone Receptor Blocker If CCB used, Add Other Subgroup of CCB (ie, amlodipine-like agent if verapamil or diltiazem already being used and the converse) OR could add alpha blocker is not using vasodilating  blocker with alpha effects Refer to a Clinical Hypertension Specialist # If BP Still Not at Goal (130/80 mm Hg) Add Long Acting Thiazide Diuretic* or CCB If Blood Pressure >130/80 mm Hg in Diabetes (eGFR > 50 ml/min^) Recheck within 2-3 weeks Recheck within 4 weeks (if systolic BP< 20 mmHg above goal) Start ARB or ACE Inhibitor titrate upwards Add CCB or  blocker** Bakris GL and Sowers JR, J Am Soc Hypertens 2010;4:62-67
