No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The main purpose of the study is find whether the addition of N-acetylcysteine (antioxidant) to dual renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system blockade involving angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor and AT-1 angiotensin II receptor blocker leads to the reduction of proteinuria, main prognostic marker of chronic kidney disease progression.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

ACC (N-acetylcysteine) 1200 mg

N-acetylcysteine (ACC) 1200 mg In the 8-weeks run-in period angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and/or angiotensin II subtype 1 receptor antagonists were administered to achieve the target blood pressure below 130/80 mmHg. Next, they were randomly assigned to add (or not) 1200 mg N-acetylcysteine in two active treatment periods lasting 8 weeks each
