Hypertension is common in patients with chronic renal disease particularly those with diabetes. It is sometimes resistant to the pharmacological treatment. The mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist spironolactone may be indicated here. The mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists have a Class 1, Level A indication for the treatment of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. There is an associated risk of worsening renal function and of hyperkalemia which does not hinder their clinical benefit. However, an appropriate biological monitoring is warranted, along with potential dose adaptations. Cardiorenal syndrome significantly worses the prognosis of congestive heart failure. The use of ultrafiltration can be effective when conventional treatments failed. Its place in the front line needs to be evaluated.
