The effect of aldosterone inhibition on proteinuria in patients with progressive renal disease.

Phase 1
Conditions
Patients with chronic nephropathy and proteinuria over 0,5 g/24 hrs are to be given an inhibitor of aldosterone. Theory tells that aldosterone plays an active role in nephropathy and if that can be inhibited patients with chronic renal diseases may prolong their pre-dialysis period of time.
