Efficacy and safety of dual renin–angiotensin system (RAS) blockade for non-elderly diabetic kidney disease patients with preserved eGFR

Aim: Although sodium glucose cotransporter2 inhibitor (SGLT-2I) is widely used in clinical practice, sufficient renin–angiotensin system (RAS) inhibition remains the cornerstone of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) treatment. The aim of this single-center study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of dual RAS blockade compared with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI)/angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) monotherapy in non-elderly DKD patients with preserved eGFR (WHO Standard, < 60y).

Methods: This single-center study was registered in Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR1900024752), and approved by the ethical committee (KY201994). In this study, we recruited non-elderly type 2 diabetes volunteers with initial diagnosis of DKD to receive dual RAS blockade or monotherapy. 150 non-elderly DKD patients with preserved eGFR were recruited. The patients were randomly divided into dual RAS blockade group and monotherapy group. The dual RAS bl ockade group treatment regimen was an 80 mg valsartan plus a 4 mg perindopril tert-butylamine per day. At the same time, monotherapy group patients who received the 8 mg perindopril tert-butylamine or 160 mg valsartan monotherapy. The clinical data of the three groups were compared at baseline and collected during the follow-up period of 12 months.

Results: The baseline of patients who received dual RAS blockade was similar to that of monotherapy group. After 12 months of treatment, the median level of proteinuria in the dual RAS blockade group was significantly lower than that in the monotherapy group. There was no significant difference in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) level, potassium, blood pressure and no serious adverse reactions. Conclusions: In non-elderly DKD patients with preserved eGFR, dual RAS blockade is superior to control proteinuria, and does not increase the probability of adverse reactions such as hyperkalemia, hypot ension and acute kidney injury in 12 months. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature B.V. 2024.
