AbstractResponse to antihypertensive drugs in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) has great interindividual variability. Adrenomedullin (ADM) is produced abundantly in hypertension, but clearance is very rapid. Mid-regional proADM (MR-proADM) produced from an ADM precursor is considered a surrogate biomarker for quantification of ADM. We investigated the association of MR-proADM with antihypertensive resistance in CKD patients with poor blood pressure (BP) control. This cross-sectional study analyzed 33 CKD patients with poor BP control defined as failure to achieve target BP despite at least two classes of antihypertensive drugs. Treatment intensity score was calculated to facilitate comparability of antihypertensive regimens across subjects taking different drugs. Plasma MR-proADM concentration was measured using ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. Plasma MR-proADM concentration correlated with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (r =  − 0.777, p < 0.001). Treatment intensity score correlated positively with plasma MR-proADM concentration (r = 0.355, p = 0.043), and the correlation was further enhanced after correction by weight (r = 0.538, p = 0.001). Single and multiple regression analysis identified MR-proADM concentration (p = 0.005) as independently associated with weight-corrected treatment intensity score. MR-proADM may be useful as a biomarker to determine the therapeutic intensity of antihypertensive drugs in CKD patients with poor BP control.

Background: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) often have uncontrolled hypertension despite polypharmacy. Pharmacogenomic drug-gene interactions (DGIs) may impact the metabolism or efficacy of antihypertensive agents. We report changes in hypertension control after providing a panel of 11 pharmacogenomic predictors of antihypertensive response. Methods: A prospective cohort with CKD and hypertension was followed to assess feasibility of pharmacogenomic testing implementation, self-reported provider utilization, and blood pressure control. The analysis population included 382 hypertensive subjects genotyped for cross-sectional assessment of DGIs and 335 subjects followed for 1 year to assess systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP). Results: Most participants (58.2%) with uncontrolled hypertension had a DGI reducing the efficacy of > 1 antihypertensive agent. Subjects with a DGI had 1.85-fold (95% CI 1.2-2.8) higher odds of uncontrolled hypertension as compared to those without a DGI, adjusted for race, health system (safety net hospital versus other locations) and advanced CKD (eGFR < 30 ml/min). CYP2C9 reduced metabolism genotypes were associated with losartan response and uncontrolled hypertension (Odds Ratio 5.2, CI 1.9 -14.7). CYP2D6 intermediate or poor metabolizers had less frequent uncontrolled hypertension compared to normal metabolizers taking metoprolol or carvedilol (OR 0.55, CI 0.3-0.95). In 335 subjects completing 1 year follow-up, SBP (-4.0 mmHg, CI 1.6- 6.5) and DBP (-3.3 mmHg, CI 2.0-4.6) were improved. No significant difference in SBP or DBP change were found between individuals with and without a DGI. Conclusions: There is a potential role for the addition of pharmacogenomic testing to optimize antihypertensive regimens in patients with CKD.

ABSTRACTBackgroundPatients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) often have uncontrolled hypertension despite polypharmacy. Pharmacogenomic drug-gene interactions (DGIs) may impact the metabolism or efficacy of antihypertensive agents. We hypothesized that providing a panel of 11 pharmacogenomic predictors of antihypertensive response would improve hypertension control.MethodsA prospective cohort with CKD and hypertension was followed to assess the effect of pharmacogenomic testing on blood pressure control. The analysis population included 382 hypertensive subjects genotyped for cross-sectional assessment of drug-gene interactions and 335 subjects followed for 1 year to assess systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP).ResultsMost participants (58.2%) with uncontrolled hypertension had a DGI reducing the efficacy of one or more antihypertensive agents. Subjects with a DGI had 1.88-fold (95% CI 1.2-2.8) higher odds of uncontrolled hypertension as compared to those without a DGI, adjusted for race and CKD grade. CYP2C9 reduced metabolism genotypes were associated with losartan response and uncontrolled hypertension (Odds Ratio 5.2, CI 1.9 -14.7). CYP2D6 intermediate or poor metabolizers had less frequent uncontrolled hypertension compared to normal metabolizers taking metoprolol or carvedilol (OR 0.55, CI 0.3-0.95). In 335 subjects completing 1 year follow-up, SBP (−4.0 mmHg, CI 1.6-6.5) and DBP (−3.3 mmHg, CI 2.0-4.6) were improved. The magnitude of reductions in SBP (−14.8 mmHg, CI 10.3-19.3) and DBP (−8.4 mmHg, CI 5.9-10.9) were greatest in the 90 individuals with uncontrolled hypertension and an actionable genotype.ConclusionsThere is a potential role for the addition of pharmacogenomic testing to optimize antihypertensive regimens in patients with CKD.

INTRODUCTION: Adequate control of hypertension in Chronic Kidney Disease patients is difficult to achieve. This study was designed to analyze the adequacy of Hypertension control in adults with CKD using different classes of antihypertensive drugs. METHODS: A cross-sectional observational study was done that included 85 patients with CKD admitted to our Medicine Department over a period of two years (2006-2008 A.D.). Presence of CKD was defined as glomerular filtration rate <60 ml/min per 1.73 m2 for more than three months or presence of albuminuria (albumin:creatinine ratio >30ug/mg). Adequate blood pressure control was defined as systolic blood pressure less than or equals to 130 and diastolic blood pressure less than or equals to 80 mm Hg. Data and Statistical analysis was done using SPSS Version 12 for Windows. RESULTS: Of all the CKD patients, 51.4% required three Anti-Hypertensive drugs combination for the effective control of Hypertension, while only 21% of CKD patients with hypertension was controlled on two drugs. CONCLUSION: Adequate control of blood pressure in CKD patient was shown to be most effective on combination of three antihypertensive drugs. A poor control was seen on patients taking less than three antihypertensive drugs. Keywords: antihypertensive drug; chronic kidney disease; glomerular filtration rate; hypertension.

AbstractThe effect of blood pressure (BP) on the incident cardiovascular events, progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and mortality were evaluated among chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with and without antihypertensive treatment. This nationwide study used the Korean National Health Insurance Service-Health Screening Cohort data. The hazards of outcomes were analysed according to the systolic BP (SBP) or diastolic BP (DBP) among adults (aged ≥ 40 years) with CKD and without previous cardiovascular disease or ESRD (n = 22,278). The SBP and DBP were ≥ 130 mmHg and ≥ 80 mmHg in 10,809 (48.52%) and 11,583 (51.99%) participants, respectively. During a median 6.2 years, 1271 cardiovascular events, 201 ESRD incidents, and 1061 deaths were noted. Individuals with SBP ≥ 130 mmHg and DBP ≥ 80 mmHg had higher hazards of hypertension-related adverse outcomes compared to the references (SBP 120–129 mmHg and DBP 70–79 mmHg). SBP < 100 mmHg was associated with hazards of all-cause death, and composite of ESRD and all-cause death during follow-up only among the antihypertensive medication users suggesting that the BP should be < 130/80 mmHg and the SBP should not be < 100 mmHg with antihypertensive agents to prevent the adverse outcome risk of insufficient and excessive antihypertensive treatment in CKD patients.

Hypertension is the most important modifiable risk factor for primary and secondary stroke prevention. All antihypertensive drugs are effective in primary prevention: the risk reduction for stroke is 30—42%. However, not all classes of drugs have the same effects: there is some indication that angiotensin receptor blockers may be superior to other classes of antihypertensive drugs in stroke prevention. Seventy-five percent of patients who present to hospital with acute stroke have elevated blood pressure within the first 24—48 hours. Extremes of systolic blood pressure (SBP) increase the risk of death or dependency. The aim of treatment should be to achieve and maintain the SBP in the range 140—160 mmHg. However, fast and drastic blood pressure lowering can have adverse consequences. The PROGRESS trial of secondary prevention with perindopril + indapamide versus placebo + placebo showed a decrease in numbers of stroke recurrences in patients given both active antihypertensive agents, more impressive for cerebral haemorrhage.There were also indications that active treatment might decrease the development of post-stroke dementia.
