Proteinuria, Chronic Kidney Disease, and the Effect of an Angiotensin Receptor Blocker in Addition to an Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitor in Patients With Moderate to Severe Heart Failure
Circulation, 10/07/09

Anand IS et al. – CKD was common and dipstick–positive proteinuria was infrequent in this sample of patients with HF. After controlling for other risk factors, including CKD, the relatively small subgroup with dipstick–positive proteinuria did have worse outcomes. Valsartan reduced the estimated glomerular filtration rate by the same amount in patients with and without CKD and reduced the risk of the first morbid event in patients with CKD, which suggests its beneficial effects in patients with HF and CKD.
