INTRODUCTION: Proteinuria is always associated with intrinsic kidney disese and
is a strong predictor of later development of End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). As
Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System (RAAS) has a role in mediating proteinuria,
inhibitors of this system are renoprotective and patients with refractory
proteinuria are put on a combination of these agents. The routinely employed
triple blockade of RAAS with Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, ARB
and Aldosterone antagonist has many limitations. Addition of Aliskiren to this
combination suppresses the RAAS at the earliest stage and can offset many of
these limitations. AIM: This study was conducted to assess the safety and
efficacy of complete RAAS blockade by the addition of Aliskiren in those patients
with refractory proteinuria who were already on triple blockade with ACE
inhibitor, ARB and Aldosterone antagonist. SETTINGS: This study was conducted in
Nephrology Department, Calicut Medical College. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of
36 patients with refractory proteinuria who were already on ACE inhibitor, ARB
and Aldosterone antagonist were divided in to two groups A and B. Group A
received Aliskiren in addition to the above combination whereas group B continued
the same treatment for 12 weeks. Efficacy of the treatment was assessed by
recording 24hr urine protein and safety by S.Creatinine, S.Potassium every 2
weeks of the treatment period. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Statistical analysis of the
lab values was done using SPSS software. Unpaired t-test, Paired t-test and
Chi-square test were done for data analysis. RESULTS: Statistical analysis
revealed that addition of Aliskiren to the combination therapy with ACE
inhibitor+ ARB+ Aldosterone antagonist offers no advantage. But mean reduction in
proteinuria was more with Group A than Group B. There is no statistically
significant change in S.Creatinine and S.Potassium at the end of treatment.
CONCLUSION: As proteinuria is a strong risk factor for progression to ESRD, even
a mild decrease in proteinuria by treatment is renoprotective. Hence treatment
with group A may be considered clinically superior to group B with no alteration
in safety and tolerability. But further multicentre studies with larger sample
size and dose escalation are required for confirmation.
