2014, Seminars in NephrologyCitation Excerpt :Although blockade of the RAAS traditionally has been performed with ACE inhibitors or ARBs, and more recently direct renin inhibitors have been tried,93 30% to 50% of patients on long-term therapy have unexpected increases of serum aldosterone levels, a phenomenon termed aldosterone breakthrough.93–96 This paradoxic increase in aldosterone levels leads to progression of cardiac and renal disease because ACE inhibitors and ARBs may not adequately block the MR component.92,97–99 The phenomenon of aldosterone breakthrough has been known for some time, is well described in the cardiac literature,97,100 and may explain the mortality benefit of aldosterone blockade as add-on therapy to ACE inhibitors or ARBs in congestive heart failure (CHF).4,5,101
