Angiotensin Blockade and Progressive Loss of Kidney Function in Hemodialysis Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract
Background Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) declines during long-term dialysis treatment. In peritoneal dialysis, blockade of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system reduces GFR decline. Observational studies suggest that similar treatment may preserve kidney function in hemodialysis (HD). Study Design A multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded trial, with 1-year follow-up. Setting & Participants Adult HD patients with urine...
