This book guides readers through a wide spectrum of clinical
presentations in patients with arterial hypertension and
different degrees of renal impairment, ranging from asymptomatic
urine abnormalities to end stage renal disease. On the basis of
six case studies, the author reviews and discusses current
guidelines and recommendations aimed at optimizing the diagnostic
and therapeutic approach both to renal and cardiovascular risk in
commonly encountered real-world clinical scenarios including
challenging cases of diabetic kidney disease, ischemic
nephropathy and resistant hypertension. It also explores
anti-hypertensive drug combinations, including single or multiple
RAAS-I, lipid lowering and antiplatelet drugs, as well as the
appropriate use of glucose lowering drugs in the context of
chronic kidney disease. This handy and practical book provides
physicians in the area of general and internal medicine, as well
as specialists in the cardiovascular, metabolic and renal fields
valuable insights into optimal therapeutic targets for blood
pressure and glucose control in renal patients.
