Abstract
The decline in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is used as outcome parameter to establish drug efficacy in clinical trials of renal disease progression. For analyzing and interpretation of trial results it is assumed that renal function declines linearly over time. However, a recent study in Afro- Americans with hypertensive nephrosclerosis documented that 42% of patients exhibit > 90% probability of non-linear GFR trajectory or prolonged period of nonprogression.
