Angiotensin II (AT-II)-Receptor Antagonists are Reviewed. Research focused on blocking the renin- angiotensin system (RAS) led to the discovery of angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) inhibitors ...

Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) are medications that relax blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more freely, which lowers blood pressure. ARBs are used to treat hypertension (high blood ...

Drugs for diabetic kidney disease treatment have greatly expanded, allowing research and consensus on their optimal use.

In contrast, ARBs would be expected to inhibit the biologic effects of angiotensin II more completely than ACE inhibitors, since they block the pathway more distally at the level of the receptor ...

1 is the largest systematic review of published randomized clinical trials evaluating the use of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin-II-receptor blockers (ARBs ...

In a 24-week trial, semaglutide led to a 52% reduction in albuminuria and improved kidney health in individuals with chronic ...

Finerenone further reduces albuminuria in patients already on triple therapy for CKD with type 2 diabetes (SGLT2i, GLP-1 RA, ...
