Abstract

This pilot study shows that aliskiren with ACE-inhibitor/ARB therapy allows a clinically significant (22% at month 6) and persistent (up to month 12) decrease in proteinuria. The antiproteinuric effect was at least in part unrelated to the antihypertensive effect and small decrease in eGFR and instead may depend on enhanced suppression of intrarenal angiotensin II with more effective correction of glomerular hypertension.The magnitude of antiproteinuric response was greater in younger patients and those with higher sodium excretion and therefore intake.
