ADVANCE: renal protection that translates into mortality reduction

* Versus patients, 73% of whom were receiving an ACE inhibitor or a sartan.** Development of macroalbuminuria, doubling of serum creatinine to a level of at least 2.26 mg/dL (200 mol/L), need for renal replacement therapy or death due to renal disease.*** All-cause mortality.
