Effect of RAS Blockers on CKD Progression in Elderly Patients With Non Proteinuric Nephropathies (PROERCAN01)

Summary

This study evaluates the effect of renin-angiotensin blockers on chronic kidney disease progression in elderly (\>65 years old) patients with non-proteinuric nephropathies. Half of the patients will receive angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, while the other half will not receive them. Renal function, proteinuria and cardiovascular events will be follow up during a three year period.
