Brief Summary:
Albumin in the urine is usually a signal that you might be at risk of cardiovascular complications. The purpose of this study is to determine if the albumin in your urine can be decreased by the treatment regimen that consists of irbesartan taken at the same time with ramipril.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Albuminuria Drug: Ramipril + Irbesartan Drug: Ramipril + Placebo Phase 4
