The role of the renin angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS) in the pathophysiology of hypertension, cardiovascular disease and kidney disease has been known for years. RAAS inhibitors have been the mainstay of chronic kidney disease (CKD) treatment. Studies have shown that therapy with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors) or angiotensinII receptor blockers (ARBs) reduce the excretion of albuminuria and slow the progression of kidney disease in patients with and without diabetes. In clinical practice, RAAS inhibitors are recommended as the antihypertensive of choice in patients with CKD and albuminuria with or without diabetes. In addition, they have demonstrated cardiovascular benefits beyond blood pressure control. The use of RAAS inhibitors in non-proteinuric nephropathy and advanced CKD is not without controversy. Double blockade of the RAAS is contraindicated. On the other hand, it is essential to know how to titrate doses and avoid side effects, mainly hyperkalaemia.
