Objectives: Zilebesiran is an investigational RNA interference therapeutic designed to lower blood pressure by targeting the hepatic production of angiotensinogen, the most upstream precursor of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. This approach aims to offer long-lasting blood pressure control with potentially fewer doses compared to traditional antihypertensive medications. The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess the antihypertensive efficacy of zilebesiran in patients with hypertension.

Purpose: Type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension frequently coexist, increasing the risk of cardiovascular and renal complications. Urinary Albumin Creatinine Ratio (UACR) serves as a crucial predictor of these outcomes. While renin-angiotensin system inhibitors are often initial therapy, evidence suggests a potential role for Azelnidipine, a non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, in reducing UACR, especially in cases of persistent proteinuria despite optimal therapy.
