INTRODUCTION: Blood pressure (BP) control is fundamental to the care of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and is relevant at all stages of CKD. Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) blockers have shown to be effective, not only in BP control but also in reducing proteinuria and slowing CKD progression. However, there is a lack of evidence for recommending RAAS blockers in elderly patients with CKD without proteinuria. The primary outcome of the present study is to evaluate the impact of RAAS blockers on CKD progression in elderly patients without proteinuria.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: The PROERCAN trial (trial registration, NCT03195023) is a multicentre open-label, randomized controlled clinical trial with 110 participants over 65 years-old with hypertension and CKD stages 3-4 without proteinuria. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either receive RAAS blockers or other antihypertensive drugs, and will be followed up for three years. Primary outcome is the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline at 3 years. Secondary outcomes include BP control, renal and cardiovascular events, and mortality.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: The design of this trial is presented here. The results will show if antihypertensive treatment with RAAS blockers has an impact on CKD progression in elderly patients without proteinuria. Any differences in BP control, cardiovascular events, and mortality with each antihypertensive treatment will be also clarified.
