Aliskiren combined with losartan in immunoglobulin A nephropathy: an open-labeled pilot study

Abstract

Aliskiren confers an antiproteinuric effect in IgAN patients with significant residual proteinuria, despite receiving the recommended renoprotective treatment. Further prospective randomized trials are warranted to examine its long-term renoprotective potential. This trial is registered with the ClinicalTrials.gov number NCT00922311.
