The reader will also find up-to-date evidence and guidelines for the screening, diagnosis and real-life management of patients with hypertension and chronic kidney disease and more importantly data and critical assessment of latest trials with new disease modifying treatment.Among the topic covered in the book: the usefulness of out of office BP measurement, the role of albuminuria as a marker of risk and as a therapeutic target, the role of serum uric acid and salt intake in the prognosis and clinical management of CKD patients. The expanding therapeutic armamentarium to prevent hypertensive renal damage in diabetic and non diabetic patients will be reviewed, RAAS Is, SGLT2 is, drugs modulating aldosterone pathway  as well as new antihyperglycemic drugs.
