- Haematuria (blood in urine)
- Proteinuria (protein in urine)
- Creatinine rises (GFR falls)
Speed varies

ACE inhibitors
- Work in animals (mice, dogs)
- Work in humans
ACE inhibitors now
Anyone with proteinuria
- ‘Carrier’ or fully affected
Jais 2003
ACE inhibitors
- Work in animals (mice, dogs)
- Work in humans
- There are other candidate drugs
ACE inhibitors
- Work in animals (mice, dogs)
- Work in humans
- There are other candidate drugs
- Lower proteinuria?
- Reduce scarring?
- Stabilise GBM?
