Retarding progression of chronic kidney disease

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects about 10-15% of the German population with a steady increase. It is assumed that CKD will become the 5th most common cause of death worldwide in 2040. CKD is associated with high risk of mortality, morbidity, related in particular to cardiovascular disease, as well as high healthcare costs. Clinical strategies to manage CKD should encompass extensive life-style modification including weight normalization, reduction of dietary protein and salt intakes, regular exercise and avoidance of nicotine. Pharmacologically it includes inhibition of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), sodium-glucose co-transporter‑2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors in both diabetes-related and non-diabetic CKD and strategies to control other risk factors such as proteinuria, hyperglycemia and lipid disturbances. Among the various measures aimed at slowing CKD progression, blood pressure control and in particular RAAS inhibitors have received the most attention. Another therapeutic option includes aldosterone inhibition, be it via classical aldosterone-antagonists or the new mineralocorticoid-receptor antagonists. Avoidance of nephrotoxic agents (e.g. non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) seems self-explanatory. Overall, given the often asymptomatic course of CKD in particular in early phases, patient education and self-empowerment as well as treatment in a multidisciplinary team appear essential to stem the tide of patients with advanced kidney damage.
