Telmisartan Safety in CKD and AKI

Renoprotective Benefits and Monitoring

• In patients with CKD, particularly those with albuminuria, telmisartan provides renoprotective benefits when properly monitored, according to the Kidney International guidelines 1
• The American Journal of Kidney Diseases recommends watching for signs of worsening renal function, especially during intercurrent illness or when undergoing procedures that may increase the risk of AKI 2

Special Considerations

• The Kidney International guidelines suggest that telmisartan offers renoprotective benefits in patients with diabetes, hypertension, and albuminuria, which may outweigh risks when properly monitored 1
