Drug Discovery for Overcoming Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD): Pharmacological Effects of Mineralocorticoid-Receptor Blockers
There is increasing evidence demonstrating that the renoprotective effects of mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) blockade are independent of the effects exerted by renin-angiotensin inhibitors. MR is expressed not only in tubular cells but also in other renal cells including glomerular mesangial cells,...
