Abstract
As in other causes of non-diabetic kidney disease, antihypertensive regimens with ACE inhibitors are more effective in lowering urine protein excretion in patients with advanced PKD compared to regimens without ACE inhibitors, and this benefit is greater in patients with higher levels of baseline urine protein excretion. The effect of ACE inhibitors to slow kidney disease progression in PKD is inconclusive.
