Abstract excerpt
Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACEi) inhibition retards renal function loss, but the therapeutic benefit varies between individuals. Renoprotection is poor in patients with the ACE DD genotype. ACE genotype is reported to affect short-term antiproteinuric response to ACEi, a predictor of long-term renoprotection, in some studies but not in others. Short-term responses to ACEi are enhanced by stimulating the...
