HyperK-related RASi discontinuation or down-titration was a/w higher risk of cardiorenal events vs maintained or up-titrated RASi.
And when RASi gets held, we’re not good at restarting them.

RAS blockade is protective
Decrease CV events
Decrease CKD progression
Decrease HF hospitalization
Etc etc
#Kidneywk
And the effect is maintained even with low eGFR!
