What are the effects of beta-adrenergic antagonists in patients with chronic kidney disease?
Beta-adrenergic antagonists are commonly used for the treatment of hypertension and other cardiovascular conditions. Studies have shown that they can have positive effects in patients with chronic kidney disease, including reducing blood pressure, limiting the progression of nephropathy, and improving cardiovascular outcomes. However, the use of beta-blockers in patients with chronic kidney disease should be monitored closely and the dose adjusted as needed due to their potentially adverse effects on renal function.
