Levels of NT-proBNP, markers of low-grade inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction during spironolactone treatment in patients with diabetic kidney disease

Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) blockade may reduce levels of biomarkers of chronic low-grade inflammation and endothelial dysfunction. We investigated the effect of spironolactone added to standard RAAS blockade on these biomarkers in an analysis of four original studies. Materials and...
