The Dual Significance of ProteinuriaThe Dual Significance of Proteinuria

• Proteinuria (albuminuria) results from injury to glomerular circulation Increased proteinuria (albuminuria) is

associated with progressive kidney disease• In diabetes and hypertension, proteinuria

(albuminuria) is also an indicator of injury in the systemic circulation Proteinuria (albuminuria) is associated with

increased cardiovascular risk

Slide SourceHypertension Online

www.hypertensiononline.org

Renal Disease and HypertensionRenal Disease and HypertensionCore Concepts of TreatmentCore Concepts of Treatment

• Hypertension and proteinuria (albuminuria) are both independent variables that predict long-term decline in renal function Renal disease is both a cause and

consequence of hypertension Reduction of blood pressure reduces

cardiovascular risk and renal risk Reduction of proteinuria (albuminuria) may

lower both cardiovascular risk and renal risk

ACE-I Provides Greater Renoprotection ACE-I Provides Greater Renoprotection Than Non-ACE-I in Patients with Than Non-ACE-I in Patients with

Diabetic and Non-Diabetic NephropathyDiabetic and Non-Diabetic Nephropathy

Study YearConclusions about

ACE inhibitors (ACE-I)

Bjork et al 1992 ACE-I reduced both the rate of decline in GFR and the amount of albuminuria.

Lewis et al 1993In Type I diabetics, ACE-I reduced proteinuria, risk of doubling serum creatinine, and risk of ESRD+Death. But, ESRD alone was not reduced.

REIN 1997In non-diabetics, ACE-I reduced proteinuria, risk of doubling serum creatinine, and risk of ESRD+Death. But, ESRD alone was not reduced.

MicroHOPE 2000ACE-I reduced progression of proteinuria from normoalbuminuria to microalbuminuria and from microalbuminuria to macroalbuminuria.

AASK 2001ACE-I was superior to amlodipine in reducing proteinuria among non-diabetic African Americans with hypertension and kidney disease.

Slide SourceHypertension Online

www.hypertensiononline.org

AASK: The African American Study AASK: The African American Study of Kidney Disease and Hypertensionof Kidney Disease and Hypertension

• The AASK trial enrolled 1,094 African American patients with renal disease at 21 US centers, and randomized them to receive one of 3 study drugs:– Ramipril – ACEI or– Amlodipine – CCB or– Metoprolol – Beta-blocker

• Results– After adjustments for covariates, the risk

reduction for ramipril vs amlodipine groups in the clinical composite outcomes (GFR, dialysis, or death) was 38% (p=0.005)
