Background. Findings that early changes in proteinuria independently predict long-term glomular filtration rate (GFR) decline (DeltaGFR) would highlight proteinuria as a major determinant of progression in chronic renal disease.Methods. We investigated whether percent changes (3 months vs. baseline) in proteinuria (adjusted for concomitant changes in GFR) and residual proteinuria at 3 months, predicted DeltaGFR [over a median (IQ range) follow up of 31.3 (24.5 to 50.3) months] in 273 patients with proteinuric chronic nephropathies enrolled in the Ramipril Efficacy In Nephropathy (REIN) study.Results. Short-term changes and residual proteinuria (r=-0.23, P=0.0001 for both) significantly correlated with DeltaGFR and, at multivariate analyses, independently predicted DeltaGFR (beta=-0.23, P=0.0002; beta=-0.21, P=0.0004, respectively). For comparable levels of residual proteinuria, patients with greater short-term reduction had slower DeltaGFR (-0.28+/-0.04 mL/min/1.73 m(2)/vs. -0.53+/-0.07 mL/min/1.73 m(2)/month, P=0.04). On ramipril and conventional treatment, specular short-term changes in proteinuria (-18.2+/-3.5% vs. 24.2+/-6.7%, P
