Background: We tested whether the combination of verapamil (V) or amlodipine (A) with trandolapril (T) affected proteinuria differently from T alone in patients with nondiabetic nephropathies.
Methods: After T, 2 mg, in open conditions for 1 month, 69 patients were randomly assigned to be administered T, 2 mg, combined with V, 180 mg, plus a placebo or T, 2 mg, plus A, 5 mg, once a day in a double-blind fashion. Patients were followed up for 8 months.
