P0200KEEP ON (KEEPING RAAS INHIBITION TREATMENT WITH OPTIMAL POTASSIUM CONTROL). DESIGN OF A CLINICAL TRIAL OF USING SODIUM ZIRCONIUM CYCLOSILICATE FOR KEEPING RAAS INHIBITION AND/OR MRAS IN PATIENTS WITH CKD AND CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE HISTORY

Abstract Background and Aims Hyperkalemia (HK) is a potentially life-threatening condition, in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and congestive heart failure (CHF). The majority of patients affected with CKD or CHF, must be treated with inhibitors of renin angiotensin aldosterone system (RAASi) and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs). However, the treatments previously mentioned, increase the risk of HK episodes, which is the main cause of RAASi and MRAs downtitration or discontinuation, representing an undesirable clinical scenario, given that the patients are at high risk of be deprived of their nephroprotective effect and cardio-renal benefits The aim of the study is: …
