https://www.selleckchem.com/Bcl-2.html Resistant hypertension is commonly encountered in primary care, cardiology, and nephrology clinics. In patients presenting for the evaluation of resistant hypertension, taking a thoughtful approach to excluding pseudoresistant hypertension or a secondary cause of hypertension is important. When a patient is deemed to have true resistant hypertension, following an evidence-based treatment approach while considering patient-specific comorbidities results not only in better blood pressure control but also better patient long-term adherence to lifestyle and pharmacologic interventions. This article details an approach to the diagnosis and treatment of resistant hypertension with special consideration for patients with preexisting renal and/or cardiovascular disease.The description of gout dates back almost 5000 years, and scientific interest in uric acid increased when it was found to be involved in the pathogenesis of gout. Since then, many basic and clinical studies have assessed the implications of uric acid for the oxidative system, inflammation, and cardiovascular and renal outcomes. Uric acid-lowering therapy failed to improve clinical hard outcomes in asymptomatic hyperuricemia, and it is retained in symptomatic hyperuricemia. Dietary and lifestyle modifications are critical to manage hyperuricemia. More studies are warranted to investigate the role of uric acid-lowering drugs on cardiovascular outcomes.Cardiovascular (CV) disease (CVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and with end-stage renal disease. CKD has a strong association with dyslipidemia. Dyslipidemias can affect kidney function and increase the risk for CVD development, so it is an important risk factor. Statin therapy can decrease CV events in patients with pre-end-stage CKD and in renal transplant patients, but not in those already on dialysis. This article focuses on epidemiology of CKD, how dyslipid
