Why is it important?

Last years in CKD 4-5 we were substituting ACEi/ARB by sympatholytic agents in order to maintain compensatory hyperfiltration and provide more prominent BP reduction. Clinical results show enlargement of period to renal replacement therapy (RRT) and trend to decreasing cardiovascular mortality. Thus formula ARAMONEL - AR(B)A(CEI)MO(xonidine)NE(bivolol)L(ercandipine) in CKD1-3b was changed to the following one: MONELED - MO(xonidine)NE(bivolol)LE(rcandipine)D(iuretic) in CKD 4-5.

Perspectives

Our clinical practice shows feasibility using sympatolytic agents instead ACEi/ARB in CKD4-5 stages as a novel concept. In one year the evident background of 3 years follow-up will be presented.
