Summary

This study looked at whether losartan, a blood pressure medicine, can lower uric acid levels in children with proteinuric kidney disease. Forty children aged 3 to 12 who were already taking enalapril were randomly assigned to receive either losartan or enalapril for one month, then switched after a washout period. The goal was to see if losartan helps control uric acid, which is important for managing kidney disease.
