Though guidelines say to stop many drugs, I only bother with MRA and amiloride - see www.cmaj.ca/content/195/... in @cmaj-jamc.bsky.social for a quick read Now maybe even MRA don’t matter when doing AVS? Join us in 15 minutes to discuss on #NephJC
Most antihypertensive medications can be continued during the work-up for PA

Stopping antihypertensive medications during PA screening may not be feasible. Apart from mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (spironolactone, eplerenone) and amiloride, most other antihypertensive medications can typically be continued. A suppressed renin in the context of an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin II receptor blockers is highly suspicious for PA.

🧪 Did you know? ➡️ Commonly used equations to estimate kidney function (eGFR) fail to perform well in the Indian population. ➡️ Even race-neutral equations, like CKD-EPI (2021), overestimate GFR and lack accuracy. #KidneyHealth #CKD #MedicalResearch
