The review discusses the results of preclinical and clinical trials on the identification of nephroprotective action of β-blockers 3 generation carvedilol and nebivolol on models of hypertensive and diabetic nephropathy and patients with chronic kidney disease. It was concluded that nebivolol and especially carvedilol differs from its predecessors additional antioxidant and nephroprotective properties may be the drugs of choice from β-blockers for drug therapy of hypertensive patients with chronic kidney disease.

Amlodipine and selective dihydropyridine Ca2+ channels blockers of the second generation in addition to ACE inhibitors or replacing them antagonists of AT1-angiotensin receptors don’t improve clinical renal outcomes in hypertensive patients with chronic kidney disease. These drugs don’t eliminate intraglomerular hypertension that underlies hypertensive nephropathy and can have an adverse effect on the neurohormonal status of the organism, triggering the activation of the sympathetic and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone systems. The review presents the results of clinical studies evaluating the effectiveness of the use in this patients population of a new dihydropyridine blocker L-Ca2+ channels third-generation lercanidipine, dual blocker T/L-Ca2+ channels benedipine and dual blocker N/L-Ca2+ channels cilnidipine, that differ from their predecessors expressed renoprotective properties.

Background: Objective of the current investigation was to identify the utilization patterns of antihypertensive drugs among hypertensive patients with chronic kidney disease at Sultan Qaboos university hospital.Methods: This is a retrospective study of the utilization patterns of antihypertensive drugs that were prescribed to 181 hypertensive patients with CKD. Patients’ data and drugs’ data were collected from the hospital track care system and analysed.Results: The results show that diuretics were prescribed for 63.53% of the patients followed by β-blockers (61.3%). Drugs were prescribed orally to 90% of the patients. Furosemide was prescribed to 55.8% of patients followed by amlodipine (55.2%). The majority of the patients were on multiple antihypertensive medications (84%). There was no significant difference between drug utilization in patients with albuminuria and those without albuminuria. Among patients with CKD stages two and three, β-blockers were the most common antihypertensive drugs being utilized. Among patients with stage 4 and stage 5, calcium channel blockers and diuretics were the most common antihypertensive drugs being utilized. The prescription of angiotensin II receptor blockers and direct vasodilators showed a significant difference among different stages of CKD.Conclusions: This study showed that diuretics were the most commonly prescribed antihypertensive drugs among the study cohort. The majority of the patients were on multiple antihypertensive medications.

Arterial hypertension (AH) resistant to drug therapy is the phenotype of uncontrolled AH, in which patients receiving at least 3 antihypertensive drugs, including a diuretic, maintain blood pressure above the target level. Initially, the term refractory hypertension was also used to refer to resistant hypertension. Recently, however, refractory hypertension has been isolated into a separate phenotype of difficult to treat hypertension, which is defined as insufficient control of target blood pressure, despite the use of at least 5 different mechanisms of antihypertensive drugs, including long-acting diuretic and antagonist of mineralcorticoid receptors. Resistant hypertension is detected in 10–15 % of all hypertensive patients receiving drug therapy, and is often found in patients with chronic kidney disease. Hypertension can be a cause and/or consequence of kidney damage and is typical of most patients with chronic kidney disease. The lack of control of target blood pressure in a significant proportion of hypertensive patients with CKD who receive at least 3 antihypertensive drugs of different mechanisms of action indicates a lack of effectiveness of antihypertensive therapy, which not only accelerates the loss of renal function, but also significantly worsens the prognosis, contributing to such people risk of cardiovascular and renal complications. The review presents data on the prevalence, prognostic value of resistant hypertension in patients with chronic kidney disease, features of its formation and approaches to increasing the effectiveness of antihypertensive therapy in this patient population.

Coronavirus disease 19 is a global pandemic which infects over millions of people worldwide in a limited time and changes the lifestyle, clinical spectrum lies from asymptomatic infection to pneumonitis with cardiorespiratory failure and finally death. Higher mortality occurs in senior and who are suffering from co-morbidities like chronic kidney disease, (HTN) hypertension, (DM TYPE II) diabetes mellitus or (CVD) cardiovascular diseases. However, rather than normal individuals, patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are under higher risk for infections. The chronic systemic inflammatory state is a significant cause for morbidity and mortality in CKD patients. The objective of this review is to discuss the pathogenesis of COVID-19 in CKD, changes observed in the immune system of CKD patients, COVID-19 infections risk in CKD and therapeutic approach of COVID-19 in CKD patients. From the standpoint of frequent renal co-morbidities in covid19 patients, renal complications were explored in covid19 patients received at level 2 tertiary care Santosh Hospital, Ghaziabad, U.P. Delhi-NCR India during March to August 2020 as per the protocol of Nephrology Society of India. Relevant clinical trials were reviewed in support. Meta-analysis and clinical trials are covered in this review study. Duplicate studies are not taken into account. The outcome of the studies shows that CKD patients are more prone to COVID-19. CKD patients are more likely infected with COVID-19 virus. Whereas in intensive care, CKD occurs more frequent than DM type II and CVD. So,COVID-19 pathogenesis in CKD patients, risk of COVID-19, immunologic changes and therapy COVID-19 in CKD can add support in the effective management of COVID-19.

Background. Diabetes mellitus is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease worldwide. Microalbuminuria is the cornerstone for the diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy. However, it is an inadequate marker for early diagnosis. MicroRNAs are not only new and promising markers for early diagnosis but also, but they may also play a role in the prevention of disease progression. Methods. This study included ninety patients with type 2 DM in addition to 30 control subjects. MicroRNA-451 expression in blood and plasma using real-time PCR was evaluated in addition to the classic diabetic nephropathy markers (serum creatinine, urinary albumin, and eGFR). Results. There was a significant difference between the studied groups versus control regarding serum creatinine, eGFR, urinary, and plasma microRNA-451 with p=0.0001. Patients with eGFR 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 showed a significantly higher plasma microRNA-451 (29.6 ± 1.6) and significantly lower urinary microRNA-451 (21 ± 0.9) in comparison to patients with eGFR >60 ml/min/1.73 m2 and p=0.0001. eGFR showed a positive correlation with urinary microRNA-451 and negative correlation with both plasma microRNA-451 and urinary albumin. Both plasma and urinary microRNA-451 are highly sensitive and specific markers for chronicity in diabetic nephropathy patients with sensitivity of 90.9% and 95.5% and specificity of 67.6% and 95.6%, respectively. Conclusion. MicroRNA-451 is a promising early biomarker for chronic kidney disease in diabetic nephropathy with high sensitivity and specificity.
