Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Effect of Aliskiren on Albuminuria as Measured by Urinary Albumin Excretion Rate (UAER)
Two 24-hour collections of urine were to be made at each study visit. The arithmetic mean of the two collections were planned to be used in the calculation of summary statistics and the statistical analyses.
26 weeks
Effect of Aliskiren on Albuminuria as Measured by Creatinine Indexed Albumin
Two 24-hour collections of urine were to be made at each study visit. The arithmetic mean of the two collections were planned to be used in the calculation of summary statistics and the statistical analyses.
