This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified by AstraZeneca, November 2008
Sponsored by: AstraZeneca
Information provided by: AstraZeneca
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00573430
  Purpose

To determine the effective dose of candesartan cilexetil for reduction of urinary protein excretion in hypertensive patients with non-diabetic chronic kidney disease with baseline urinary protein/creatinine ratio between 500mg/g and 5000mg/g, by assessing the change in urinary protein/creatinine ratio from baseline to the end of 28-week treatment
