Scientific titleDual renin-angiotensin system-blockade by angiotension-converting enzyme-inhibition and angiotension receptor type 1 receptor blockade, role of the angiotension-converting enzyme inhibitor or D genotype and low sodium diet in non-diabetic proteinuric patients
Study acronymDUAAAL
Study objectivesThe recently found gene-environment interaction between dietary sodium intake and the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) genotype with sodium-induced therapy resistance to ACE inhibition in DD homozygotes (that was absent in II and ID subjects) is present in renal patients as well. With regards to the pathophysiological mechanism, we hypothesise that a high dietary sodium intake induces an increase in tissue ACE activity, which is stronger in the DD homozygotes, resulting in a worse therapy response to angiotensin-converting enzyme-inhibitors (ACEi). The alleged sodium-induced therapy resistance of the DD homozygotes may therefore be overcome by addition of angiotensin receptor type 1 (AT1) receptor blockade, since AT1 receptor blockers act downstream of the ACE.
Moreover, we hypothesize that low dietary sodium intake has additional effects on proteinuria and blood pressure on top of dual renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockade in patients with non-diabetic proteinuria
