While having no effect on kidney weight, body weight, Ccr, BUN or albumin excretion rate, ARB treatment partly attenuated the elevated BP in ARB-treated CKD group compared to untreated CKD animals (135±1.3/107±3.3mmHg versus 125±4.6/96±2.2mmHg; Systolic BP had a trend towards significant, p = 0.086; P-value of diastolic BP was p<0.05). Here, ALB is linked to chronic kidney disease.
