Abstract

Pharmacological inhibition of the renin-angiotensin-aldosteron system (RAAS) constitutes a cornerstone strategy in the management of patients with chronic nephropathies with proteinuria and with chronic renal failure. In nondiabetic patients with chronic kidney disease, the benefits of RAAS intervention have been established in the AIPRI study, a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial comparing benazepril with placebo. After 3-yr follow-up, benazepril provides renoprotection by a significant proteinuria reduction and risk reduction in the treatment group for doubling baseline serum creatinine concentration or the need for dialysis.
