Nephroangiosclerotic chronic kidney disease's primary and secondary prevention is actually based on blood pressure control and reduction of proteinuria. In proteinuric patients, blood pressure control has to be obtained by blocking renin–angiotensin axis, even in patients with moderate to severe chronic kidney disease. Combination therapy with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) drugs and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB) doesn't imply addictive protective effects. It could be tested in selected patients with proteinuria levels above 1 g/day. Combination therapy with ACEi and anti–aldosteronic agents seems to be promising but we need more multicentric trials.Downloads
