Angiotensin converting-enzyme inhibition (ACEI) is a widely accepted treatment during established renal diseases and beneficial effects have also been reported in IgA nephropathy (IgAN). Immunosuppression with myco-phenolate mofetil (MMF) has recently been introduced in the treatment of immune-mediated renal diseases showing promising results. Preliminary clinical reports are also suggestive that MMF is effective in severe forms of IgAN. We propose a randomised prospective trial aimed to compare long-term renal survival of early IgAN in the course of ACEI therapy with or without MMF immunosuppression.
