These results need confirmation in prospective trials examining patients with both renal insufficiency and proteinuria. Perhaps the best prospective study to support the concept that proteinuria reduction in combination with blood pressure reduction is associated with better preservation of kidney function is the result of the Combination Treatment of Angiotensin-II Receptor Blocker and Angiotensin converting-enzyme Inhibitor in Non-diabetic Renal Disease (COOPERATE) trial. 5 g/day was evaluated.
The extent of proteinuria reduction at 5 years predicted the risk reduction for the primary endpoint [42]. A substudy of LIFE that looked at those with essential hypertension and no other documented signs of vascular disease demonstrated that losartan was superior to atenolol in reducing CV outcomes and this effect was independent of the blood pressure achieved. In summary, it would appear that ACE inhibitors and ARBs provide similar CV and renal protection. This similarity was supported by the Diabetics Exposed to Telmisartan And Enalapril (DETAIL) study, which compared the effects of enalapril and telmisartan in a small number of patients with Type 2 diabetes, hypertension and urinary albumin excretion (UAE) between 11 and 999 g/min (n ϭ 250).
