Background Previous studies showed that angiotensin-receptor blocker (ARB) therapy decreased proteinuria and possibly slowed the rate of renal function decline in patients with chronic proteinuric nephropathies. We performed a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter study on the ARB valsartan in the treatment of patients with immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy. Methods: From 6 centers, we recruited 109 patients with IgA nephropathy who had either: (1) proteinuria with protein greater than 1 g/d and serum creatinine level less than 2.8 mg/dL (
