About this study
Official title: Influence of Adding Atorvastatin to Dual Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System Blockade on Proteinuria
The main purpose of the study is find whether the addition of statin (Atorvastatin) 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.
Read the detailed description
The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) plays an important role in the progression of chronic kidney diseases (CKD), and inhibition of the RAAS with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) and angiotensin II type 1 receptor blockers (ARB) may retard CKD progression. Dual pharmacological blockade of the RAAS with ACEI and ARB is recommended as a standard renoprotective management at least in patients with nondiabetic proteinuric CKD. However, neither ACEI nor ARB, even in high doses or in concomitant usage, abrogate the progression of CKD completely. Innovative approaches are needed to keep patients with CKD off dialysis. Additional statin (Atorvastatin) pathway may prove to be such beneficial therapeutic concept.Given these facts additional administration of statin to combination treatment with ACEI and ARB, may provide additional renal protection. To shed more light on this issue, we performed a randomised open controlled study to evaluate the influence of triple therapy with ACEI and/orARB and statin on surrogate markers of kidney injury, i.e. proteinuria, markers of tubular involvement and kidney fibrosis.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
atorvastatin (Sortis) 40 mgDrug
In the 8-weeks run-in period angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin II type 1 receptor blockers were administered to achieve the target blood pressure below 130/80 mmHg. Next, they were randomly assigned to add (or not) 40 mg of atorvastatin in two active treatment periods lasting 8 weeks each
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Investigate the antiproteinuric effect of adding atorvastatin to the combination therapy with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor and AT-1 receptor blocker in maximal recommended doses
Secondary outcomes (1)
Investigate the effect of the study intervention on urine excretion of N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase, alfa1-microglobulin and amino-terminal propeptide of type III procollagen.
