Ku E et al. - Clinical trials in adults have shown a potential role for mineralocorticoid receptor blockers to delay further the development of end-stage renal disease by completing renin–angiotensin blockade. In adults, mineralocorticoid receptor blockade produces a significant anti-proteinuric effect and has minimal risk of causing hyperkalemia if the condition of the patients is closely monitored.
