Abstract

Previous studies showed that angiotensin-receptor blocker (ARB) therapy decreased proteinuria and possibly slowed the rate of renal function decline in patients with chronic proteinuric nephropathies. We performed a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter study on the ARB valsartan in the treatment of patients with immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy. From 6 centers, we recruited 109 patients with IgA nephropathy who had either: (1) proteinuria with protein greater than 1 g/d and serum creatinine level less than 2.8 mg/dL (< 250 micromol/L), or (2) serum creatinine level of 1.4 to 2.8 mg/dL (120 to 250 micromol/L) regardless of degree of proteinuria. Patients were randomly assigned to administration of either valsartan, 80 mg/d (titrated up to 160 mg/d for blood pressure control), or placebo for 104 weeks. Additional antihypertensive therapy was allowed to achieve a target blood pressure of 140/90 mm Hg. The primary end point was doubling of serum creatinine level or dialysis-dependent renal failure. Secondary outcomes included change in proteinuria and decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR). There were 54 patients in the treatment group and 55 patients in the placebo group. Baseline clinical characterist...Continue Reading
