Figure 1 Relationship between systolic blood pressure achieved during follow-up and proteinuria levels in the Angiotensin-Converting-Enzyme Inhibition in Progressive Renal Insufficiency (AIPRI) study14. Proteinuria is directly related to systolic blood pressure, but patients treated with ACEIs have lower proteinuria levels than those treated with placebo even at lower systolic blood pressure values. Symbols are: (□, dotted line) benazepril group; (○, solid line) placebo group.
