Interaction between angiotensin-converting enzyme gene insertion/deletion polymorphism and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition on survival in hemodialyzed patients.

Abstract excerpt

The association between ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme) gene insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism and mortality has been inconsistently observed in earlier studies in patients on maintenance hemodialysis. We hypothesized that the effect of ACE gene I/D polymorphism on mortality may be influenced by concurrent ACE inhibitor therapy in this population. In this prospective, multicenter cohort, observational...
