suggesting that the preservation of GFR in these groups was mediated by reduced kidney angiotensin II activity. She concluded that dietary acid reduction might protect the kidneys of patients with ...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate plasma renin activity (PRA) and Angiotensin ... difference in GFR. We have recently reported significant differences in Ang II and Ang-(1–7) plasma ...

Objective: We evaluated the renoprotective effects as reflected by short-term changes in albuminuria of dual blockade of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) by adding an angiotensin II receptor ...

Dual blockade of the RAAS may circumvent compensatory mechanisms that limit the efficacy of monotherapy with an angiotensin-converting–enzyme (ACE) inhibitor or angiotensin II–receptor blocker ...

The increase in plasma aldosterone correlated significantly with the rate of decline in GFR. Levels of renin and angiotensin II increased similarly in both groups during follow-up. RALES ...
