Ljiljana Fodor ; University Hospital Centre “Sestre milosrdnice”, Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

In April 2019, the symposium “Controversies in hypertension, cardiovascular protection and nephrology” was held in Zagreb. In dynamic and interesting ways, various subspecialists presented
strategies of treating patients with numerous comorbidities, the complexity of the treatment strategy, and the risk of side effects. Guidelines were published, but despite them or even because of
them, we have realized that an individual approach to the patient remains crucial to the decision on
the treatment. The goal of this article is to describe the controversy over the application of sacubitril/
valsartan in patients with chronic kidney disease.

Keywords

sacubitril/valsartan; chronic kidney disease; dialysis; side effects.
