Key result
Esaxerenone is linked to reversing eGFR decline versus pre-treatment in resistant hypertension.
Why the study?
Further studies are needed to determine which patient populations experience greater renoprotective benefits from esaxerenone administered for hypertension.
Does esaxerenone improve or preserve eGFR in patients with resistant hypertension?
Observational (n=26)
No
Does esaxerenone improve or preserve eGFR in patients with resistant hypertension?
Absolute Event Rate: 3.8% vs -6.1%
p-value: p=0.008
Esaxerenone therapy halted the progressive decline of eGFR and reduced albuminuria in patients with resistant hypertension, suggesting a potential renoprotective effect.
Esaxerenone may have renoprotective effects when administered to treat hypertension. Further studies are needed to understand which patient populations may see greater renoprotective benefits with esaxerenone.

Oshima et al. (2021) conducted an observational in Resistant hypertension (n=26). Esaxerenone vs. Pre-treatment period (6 months prior) was evaluated on Median change in eGFR (mL/min/1.73 m2) (p=0.008). Esaxerenone significantly improved the median change in eGFR compared to the 6-month pre-treatment period (3.8 vs. -6.1 mL/min/1.73 m2, P=0.008) in patients with resistant hypertension.
