What strategies are recommended for managing blood pressure in non-diabetic CKD patients?
Strategies for managing blood pressure in non-diabetic CKD patients include salt restriction, weight loss, and the use of a combination of direct vasodilators (especially minoxidil), beta-blockers, and loop diuretics. Additionally, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) should be conducted to evaluate the benefit of weight loss at different stages of CKD, and to compare the benefits of various combinations of RAAS blocking drugs with and without elevated albumin excretion levels.
