What is the impact of stopping inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin system in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease?
Ahmed AK, Kamath NS, El Kossi M et al. studied the impact of stopping inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin system in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease. They found that stopping these inhibitors did not result in any improvement in patient outcomes and was associated with poorer outcomes in terms of blood pressure control, mortality and need for dialysis.
