The optimal treatment of low-renin hypertension (LRH), present in 30% of hypertensive individuals, is not known. LRH likely reflects a state of excess salt, expanded volume and/or mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) activation. Therefore, targeted treatment with MR antagonists (MRA) may be beneficial. The objective of this systematic review was to assess the efficacy of MRA therapy in LRH. MEDLINE, Embase and Cochrane databases were searched for randomised controlled trials of adults with LRH that compared the efficacy of MRA to placebo or other antihypertensive treatments. Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool. A meta-analysis was performed using a random-effects model to estimate the difference in blood pressure and the certainty of evidence was assessed using the GRADE approach. The protocol is registered on PROSPERO (CRD42022318763). From the 1612 records identified, 17 studies met the inclusion criteria with a total sample size of 1043 participants. Seven studies (n = 345) were assessed as having a high risk of bias. Meta-analysis indicated that MRA reduced systolic blood pressure by −6.8 mmHg (95% confidence interval −9.6 to −4.1) and −4.8 mmHg (95% confidence interval −11.9 to 2.4) compared to angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockers (ACEi/ARB) and diuretics. The certainty of the evidence was assessed as moderate and very low, respectively. The findings of this systematic review suggest that MRA is effective in lowering blood pressure in LRH and may be better than ACEi/ARB. Translation to clinical practice is limited by the uncertainty of evidence.","PeriodicalId":16070,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Human Hypertension","volume":"38 5","pages":"383-392"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41371-023-00891-1.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139417296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We extend the risk stratification by introducing the non-parametric determination of rhythmic components in 24-h profiles of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) in the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) and the African American Study for Kidney Disease and Hypertension (AASK) cohort using Cox proportional hazards models. We find that rhythmic profiling of BP through JTK_CYCLE analysis identifies subgroups of CRIC participants that were more likely to die due to cardiovascular causes. While our fully adjusted model shows a trend towards a significant association between absent cyclic components and cardiovascular death in the full CRIC cohort (HR: 1.71,95% CI: 0.99–2.97, p = 0.056), CRIC participants with a history of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and absent cyclic components in their BP profile had at any time a 3.4-times higher risk of cardiovascular death than CVD patients with cyclic components present in their BP profile (HR: 3.37, 95% CI: 1.45–7.87, p = 0.005). This increased risk was not explained by the dipping or non-dipping pattern in ABPM. Due to the large differences in patient characteristics, the results do not replicate in the AASK cohort. This study suggests rhythmic blood pressure components as a potential novel biomarker to unmask excess risk among CKD patients with prior cardiovascular disease.","PeriodicalId":16070,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Human Hypertension","volume":"38 5","pages":"420-429"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41371-023-00884-0.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139420525","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to evaluate the association between the spot urinary Na/K ratio and BP in 457 healthy adolescents aged 12–15 years in a school-based setting. The mean urinary Na/K ratio was 4.99 ± 2.76, and no significant difference was found between the boys and girls. When the participants were stratified based on urinary Na/K ratio quartile, age- and sex-adjusted systolic and diastolic BP gradually increased as Na/K ratio increased (systolic BP: 106.1, 106.9, 108.2, and 111.5 mmHg, Ptrend < 0.001; diastolic BP: 62.0, 62.4, 63.1, 64.3 mmHg, Ptrend = 0.022). The systolic and diastolic BP were more closely associated with urinary Na/K ratio than with Na and K levels, as well as estimated daily salt intake. In the multiple regression analysis, the urinary Na/K ratio was significantly associated with systolic BP (β = 0.144, P < 0.001) and diastolic BP (β = 0.114, P = 0.015) independent of potential confounding factors. An additional subgroup analysis revealed that the BP of the group with both high salt intake (≥8.5 g/day) and high Na/K ratio (≥6.60) was significantly higher than that of the group with high salt intake alone (systolic BP, 115.0 vs. 109.1 mmHg, P < 0.001; diastolic BP, 66.0 vs. 62.5 mmHg, P = 0.017).
