ABSTRACT

Kidney dysfunction is highly prevalent in the general population and even more so among patients with hypertension, leading to a high risk not only of progression to end-stage renal insufficiency but also of greater cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Clinical guidelines for chronic kidney disease recommend ambitious blood pressure control (< 130/80 mmHg or lower if there is proteinuria) and the use of renin-angiotensin system blockers. However, the evidence for these recommendations in patients with hypertension without diabetes or proteinuria is scarce. The present article reviews this controversy and concludes with recommendations for better renal preservation in patients with hypertension.

ABSTRACT

La prevalencia de disfunción renal es elevada en la población general, y mucho más entre los pacientes con hipertensión arterial. Ello comporta un elevado riesgo no sólo de evolucionar a insuficiencia renal terminal, sino de presentar una mayor morbimortalidad cardiovascular. Las guías clínicas de enfermedad renal crónica recomiendan un control ambicioso de la presión arterial (< 130/80mmHg o más bajo en caso de proteinuria) y la utilización de fármacos contra el sistema renina-angiotensina (SRA). Sin embargo, la evidencia de estas recomendaciones parece escasa para aquellos pacientes hipertensos que no sean diabéticos o no tengan proteinuria. Este artículo revisa dicha controversia y concluye con recomendaciones para la mejor preservación renal en los pacientes hipertensos(AU)

ABSTRACT

La disfunción endotelial está implicada en la génesis de hipertensión y arteriosclerosis. Numerosos estudios indican que es un potente factor predictivo de eventos cardiovasculares, y alguno sugiere que su respuesta a un determinado tratamiento podría ayudar a evaluar el beneficio de dicha estrategia terapéutica. Sin embargo, no existe consenso sobre cómo medir la función endotelial y la mayoría de métodos son complejos y con protocolos muy diversos. Se exponen en esta minirrevisión de carácter práctico las distintas maneras de evaluar la función endotelial y la utilidad clínica que puede suponer su determinación


Endothelial dysfunction is involved in the pathogenesis of both hypertension and atherosclerosis. A large number of studies clearly show that it is a strong predictor of cardiovascular events, and that it also could be a valuable tool for the early evaluation of the benefit of a certain type of treatment. However, there is no consensus on how endothelial function should be measured and the majority of systems are complex and use very different protocols. This mini-review tries to explain in a practical way which are the different procedures to evaluate endothelial function and also the usefulness that its measurement can offer
