Reno-Protective Effects of Angiotensin Receptor Blockers in Hypertensive Rodent Models: A systematic review.
(
Qatar University Press
, 2021 , Poster)
Background and objective: Essential hypertension is a leading risk factor for chronic kidney disease, yet there is no conclusive evidence that lowering blood pressure alone improves renal outcome measures. Angiotensin-II ...
The effect of Renin angiotensin system blockers versus calcium channel blockers on progression towards hypertensive chronic kidney disease: A comprehensive systematic review based on Randomized controlled trials
(
Qatar University Press
, 2020 , Poster)
Background: Decline in estimated Glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is associated with further progression of chronic kidney disease. Evidence suggests that Renin Angiotensin System blockers (RAS), which can be angiotensin-receptor ...
