Involvement of renal ACE activity in proteinuria-associated renal damage in untreated and treated adriamycin nephrotic rats
Proteinuria is assumed to play a pathogenetic role in progressive renal damage. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition reduces proteinuria and provides renoprotection. This suggests that ACE activity might play a pathogenetic role in the development of proteinuria-induced renal structural da...
