2. Figure 1
Effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor treatment. (A) Decline in urine protein excretion in patients with polycystic kidney disease (PKD). Symbols show the difference in mean decline in urine protein excretion (95% CI) at various levels of baseline urine protein excretion in patients with PKD receiving antihypertensive treatment regimens with versus those without ACE inhibitors. Results are from a multivariable model with covariates include assignment to ACE inhibitor vs. control group, gender, age, baseline systolic blood pressure, baseline urine protein excretion, baseline serum creatinine concentration, and interaction of baseline urine protein excretion and treatment with ACE inhibitors. (B) Relative risk (95% CI) of kidney disease progression in patients with PKD. Symbols show the relative risk (95% CI) of kidney disease progression (the combined outcome of doubling of baseline serum creatinine or the onset of kidney failure) at various levels of baseline urine protein excretion in patients with PKD receiving antihypertensive treatment regimens with versus those without ACE inhibitors. Results are from a multivariable model with covariates include assignment to ACE inhibitor vs. control group, gender, age, baseline systolic blood pressure, baseline urine protein excretion, baseline serum creatinine concentration, and interaction of baseline urine protein excretion and treatment with ACE inhibitors.
