Diabetes mellitus is a global health issue and main cause of chronic kidney disease. Both diseases are also linked through high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is present in up to 40% of diabetic patients; therefore, prevention and treatment of DKD are of utmost importance. Much research has been dedicated to the optimization of DKD treatment. In the last few years, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRA) have experienced a renaissance in this field with the development of non-steroidal MRA. Steroidal MRA have known cardiorenal benefits, but their use is limited by side effects, especially hyperkalemia. Non-steroidal MRA still block the damaging effects of mineralocorticoid receptor overactivation (extracellular fluid volume expansion, inflammation, fibrosis), but with fewer side effects (hormonal, hyperkalemia) than steroidal MRA. This review article summarizes the current knowledge and newer research conducted on MRA in DKD.
糖尿病是一个全球性的健康问题,也是慢性肾脏病的主要病因。这两种疾病还都与心血管疾病的高发病率和高死亡率相关。高达40%的糖尿病患者患有糖尿病肾病(DKD);因此,DKD的预防和治疗至关重要。许多研究致力于优化DKD的治疗。在过去几年中,随着非甾体类盐皮质激素受体拮抗剂(MRA)的开发,MRA在该领域迎来了复兴。甾体类MRA具有已知的心脏和肾脏益处,但其使用受到副作用的限制,尤其是高钾血症。非甾体类MRA仍然可以阻断盐皮质激素受体过度激活的有害影响(细胞外液量扩张、炎症、纤维化),但副作用(激素、高钾血症)比甾体类MRA少。这篇综述文章总结了目前关于MRA在DKD方面的知识和最新研究。
