Article No results yet Peer reviewed

Key takeaways

This article for kidney nurses reviews the four main types of medicine now used to slow kidney disease and protect the heart. The four are blood pressure drugs that block the renin-angiotensin system, SGLT2 inhibitors, finerenone-type drugs (nonsteroidal MRAs), and GLP-1 drugs. It explains how nurses can help patients manage taking several of these at once. It is a review of current care, not a new study, so it has no new results.
