Efter 24 uger var UAE reduceret (p < 0, 001) med 42% (– 24, 2 µg/ min; 95% konfidensinterval: – 40, 4 til – 19, 1) med valsartan og cirka 3% (– 1. 7 µg/ min; 95% konfidensinterval: – 5, 6 til 14, 9) med amlodipin trods ensartet reduktion af blodtryksværdierne i begge grupper.
At 24 weeks, UAE was reduced (p < 0.001) by 42% (– 24.2 µg/ min; 95% CI: – 40.4 to – 19.1) with valsartan and approximately 3% (– 1.7 µg/ min; 95% CI: – 5.6 to 14.9) with amlodipine despite similar rates of blood pressure reduction in both groups.
