Abstract:
The effectiveness and safety of renal denervation for treating resistant hypertension have been demonstrated by previous studies; meanwhile its potential therapeutic role for chronic kidney disease has also been indicated. Recent clinical and animal studies have confirmed that renal denervation did not cause further damage to renal function of patients with chronic kidney disease; conversely, it may have potential benefits for the patients. In this paper, we reviewed the application and effect of renal denervation in chronic kidney disease.
