Background. Drugs that inhibit angiotensin-converting enzyme slow the progression of renal insufficiency in patients with diabetic nephropathy. Whether these drugs have a similar action in patients with other renal diseases is not known, We conducted a study to determine the effect of the angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitor benazepril on the progression of renal insufficiency in patients with various underlying renal diseases.Methods. in a three-year trial involving 583 patients with renal insufficiency caused by various disorders, 300 patients received benazepril and 283 received placebo, The underlying diseases included glomerulopathies (in 192 patients), interstitial nephritis (in 105), nephrosclerosis (in 97), polycystic kidney disease (in 64), diabetic nephropathy (in 21), and miscellaneous or unknown disorders (in 104), The severity of renal insufficiency was classified according to the base-line creatinine clearance: 227 patients had mild insufficiency (creatinine clearance, 46 to 60 mi per minute), and 356 had moderate insufficiency (creatinine clearance, 30 to 45 mi per minute). The primary end point was a doubling of the base-line serum creatinine concentration or the need for dialysis.Results. At three years, 31 patients in the benazepril group and 57 in the placebo group had reached the primary end point (P
