Abstract: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global public health problem, and cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death in patients with CKD. The incidence and prevalence of cardiovascular events during the early stages of CKD increases significantly with a decline in renal function. More than 50% of dialysis patients die from cardiovascular disease. Therefore, developing effective methods to control risk factors and improve prognosis of cardiovascular disease is the primary focus during the diagnosis and treatment of CKD. For example, the Systolic blood pressure intervention trial (SPRINT) study demonstrated that CKD drugs are effective in reducing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events by controlling blood pressure. Uncontrolled blood pressure not only increases the risk of these events but also accelerates the progression of CKD. Recent studies have repeatedly confirmed that the first and so far the only angiotensin receptor–neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) sacubitril/valsartan can reduce blood pressure more effectively than renin–angiotensin system inhibitors and improve the prognosis of heart failure in patients with CKD. Here, to better guide the application of ARNI in patients with CKD, and reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular events,we formulate a consensus based on clinical evidence and experience.
