Zusammenfassung

Patienten mit chronischer Niereninsuffizienz zeigen eine tonisch erhöhte sympathische Nervenaktivität, die zu ihrem deutlich erhöhten kardiovaskulären Risiko beiträgt. Ursache ist die Aktivierung renaler sympathischer Afferenzen in den erkrankten Nieren. Therapeutisch kommen für hypertensive chronisch nierenkranke Patienten in erster Linie Hemmstoffe des Renin-Angiotensin-Systems und zentrale Sympathikolytika in Frage. Die Rolle der katheterbasierten renale Denervierung wird aktuell bei diesem Patientenkollektiv überprüft.

Abstract

Patients with chronic renal failure are characterized by a tonic elevation of sympathetic tone. This factor largely contributes to their increased cardiovascular risk. The increased sympathetic drive is caused by activiation of renal afferent fibers in the diseased kidneys. Therapeutic options for hypertensive patients with chronic renal failure with respect to their sympathetic overactivity are inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin-system and central sympatholytic drugs. The role of catheter-based renal denervation in these patients is currently under investigation.
