ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Pharmacological inhibition of the renin-angiotensin-aldosteron system (RAAS) may have a beneficial impact on proteinuria and chronic kidney diseases (CKD) progression. Despite recent progress by means of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB), there is still no optimal therapy which can stop progression of the nephropathy. Recently introduced aliskiren is the first orally bioavailable direct renin inhibitor approved for the treatment of hypertension. The purpose was to evaluate the extent of oxidative stress and tubular injury after the direct renin inhibitor, aliskiren compared with placebo and perindopril in patients with non-diabetic chronic kidney disease (NDCKD). MATERIAL/METHODS:
A randomized, double-blind, cross-over trial was performed in 14 patients receiving 300mg aliskiren, 10mg perindopril and placebo in random order. The end point was a change in the urinary excretion of N-acetyl-ß-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) and α1-microglobulin (α1m) and 15-F(2α)-isoprostane.RESULTS:
Aliskiren reduced excretion of 15-F(2α)-isoprostane (p=0.03) and α1m (p=0.01) as compared to placebo. There were no differences between aliskiren and perindopril in this regard. NAG urine excretion did not change after aliskiren and perindopril.CONCLUSIONS:
Aliskiren attenuates oxidative stress and may improve functional status of tubules in patients with NDCKD.Palabras clave
