Mechanism and benefits of the antiproteinuric effect of ace inhibition
Abstract/OtherAbstract :
Renal disease is often accompanied by urinary loss of proteins. When this loss of proteins exceeds the arbitrary value of 3 to 5 grams per day, in the presence of decreased levels of serum albumin, increased serum cholesterol and edema, one defines this clinical entity as nephrotic syndrome. Causes of nephrotic syndrome are diverse. A commonly used classification is the dichotomy into the idiopathic type, in which the nephrotic syndrome is caused by primary glomerular disease (for instance membranous glomerulopathy or focal glomerulosclerosis), versus the secondary type. The latter type of nephrotic syndrome is caused by a specific etiologic event, or arises as a complication of another disease, such as diabetes mellitus (Table 1, chapter 1). ...
