title: Proteinuria in essential hypertension.
abstract: Porteinuria was quantitatively measured in twenty-five controls and eighty-one newly detected patients of essential hypertension without renal insufficiency. Hypertension was treated with enalapril, enalapril and nifedepine and nifedepine alone. Mean proteinuria was more in patients of hypertension as compared to controls (P < .001). Proteinuria decreased significantly (P < .001) after six weeks of control of hypertension. Patients treated with enalapril alone had maximum reduction in proteinuria than those with enalapril and nifedepine, and nifedepine alone.
