Primary Outcome Measures:
  • spot urinary proteinuria between groups

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • estimated glomerular filtration, spot urine tumor necrosis factor-α/creatinine ratio, spot urine monocyte-chemoattractant protein-1/creatinine, and aldosterone concentration between groups.

Enrollment: 60
Study Start Date: July 2004
Study Completion Date: January 2007
Primary Completion Date: July 2006 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Detailed Description:

In patients with CKD and serum creatinine 1.3~6.0 md/gl, having taken losartan 100 mg/day for at least 3 months, with stable renal function, will be recruited to a randomized open-label trial. Patients taking pentoxifylline or not will be compared for their spot urinary proteinuria, estimated glomerular filtration, spot urine tumor necrosis factor-α/creatinine ratio, spot urine monocyte-chemoattractant protein-1/creatinine, and aldosterone concentration between groups in a 2-year study. Add-on pentoxifylline in control group in the same dose as in treat group will be performed to observe the renoprotective effect if any protective potential is demonstrated in the end of maintenance 12 months.
