Finally, the concurrent results of the ALCHEMIST trial (www.sciencedirect.co...) also showed that spironolactone did not reduce major cardiovascular events in older, high-risk hemodialysis patients. #NephJC

T3b:
But… theoretical reasons do not matter anymore since in this well done, large trial with absolutely no benefit of spironolactone in ESRD. Coupled with the risk of serious hyperkalemia, spironolactone should no longer be used for CV protection in ESRD. #NephJC
T0e:
⚡ Additionally, aldosterone, via mineralocorticoid receptor activation, drives:
⬆️ Reactive oxygen species (ROS)
⬇️ Nitric oxide (NO)
⬆️ Pro-inflammatory cytokines
A perfect storm for vascular injury & CV risk in ESRD.

The million-dollar ❓are aldosterone levels actually high in ESRD patients?
✅ Yes.
📊 Kohagura et al: ↑ in hypertensive HD patients
📊 Dreschler et al: ↑ in diabetic HD patients, linked to ↑ mortality
📊 Hung et al: linked to ↑ mortality and first CV event (without volume overload)
