AbstractThe renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) activation plays a key role in the chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression and in the cardiovascular complications (CVC) development in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). RAAS blockers alone are not sufficient to prevent CVC and CVC progression. RAAS upregulation in CKD associated with DM triggers the mineralocorticoid receptors (MCR) hyperactivation which results in fibrosis and inflammation in the heart and kidneys. This review presents the current data about the variety of MCR hyperactivation manifestations, as well as about of multiplicity of MCR hyperactivation ways in DM. The efficacy and safety of finerenone, a new MCR nonsteroidal selective antagonist, are discussed.
