Losartan is often used in chronic kidney disease (CKD) to manage hypertension and protect renal function by reducing proteinuria and slowing disease progression.
Losartan is effective in CKD patients for controlling blood pressure and can slow the progression of kidney damage by decreasing protein spillage in urine.
In CKD, Losartan helps by lowering hypertension and proteinuria, which can protect against further kidney function decline.
