Involvement of Angiotensin II in Tubulointerstitial Disease
ACE and
-adducin genotypes and renal disease progression

Abstract
In the REIN study of non-diabetic proteinuric nephropathies, renal disease progression was independent of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and
-adducin genotypes. However, the ACE genotype predicted the renoprotective effect of ACE inhibition. Subgroup analysis in patients with Berger disease showed a tendency (NS) for a faster progression in DD homozygotes.
