Abstract
Background: Hypertension is a leading cause of CKD; it is estimated that over millions of the people worldwide suffer from this condition. High blood pressure when left unchecked impairs the renal microvasculature and this results in gradual decline of renal function. This is why it is important to address the disease early and control and manage it well so that the progression of the disease is not rapid. Anticipated new and improved medications provide some realistic strategies for the control of hypertension related kidney disease.
Objectives: In order to assess the efficacy of modern treatments of hypertension and the possibilities of kidney damage prevention in patients who have hypertension-related kidney diseases.
Study Design: A randomized controlled trial.
Place And Duration Of Study. Department Mercy teaching hospital Peshawar from 05-jan 2023 to 05-june 2023
Methods: 150 patients with hypertension induced CKD. Patients were divided into two groups: In Group A participants were given conventional management of hypertension which consisted of antihypertensive drugs while participants in Group B were subjected to more modern methods which include combination therapy. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure of the patient and estimation of kidney function were done before the LTx and then after 6 months. Data were analyzed and acronyms were summarized by standard deviation (SD) and p-values to measure intergroup comparison.
Results: 150 patients to the study, 75 subject were randomized into the Group A (treated with conventional treatment) while the other 75 subjects of Group B (treated with innovation combination therapy). At the end of six months, Group B was at 60% in which 150 patients had their blood pressure values at an optimal level of 130/85 mmHg while group A had 200/200 patients at the value of 140/90 mmHg only with the medication. Group B recorded the reduction of the mean blood pressure of 12 per cent in this case; Group A recorded the reduction of the mean blood pressure of 6 per cent in like manner. Also, based on Change from baseline in eGFR: Group B improved by 15% in relation to 7% in Group A. Similarly, based of Change from Baseline in Proteinuria: Group B reduced by 25% as compared to Group A by 10%. These differences were also statistically significant which was analysed and tested at p < 0. 01 for the blood pressure control and p < 0. 05 for the improvement in kidney function.
Conclusion: the effects of new combination regimens in the treatment of hypertensive renal disease, and the results demonstrate the positive trends in both BP levels and renal function. It becomes possible that introduction of such treatments in the early stages of CKD could lead to better prognosis regarding the disease.
