The effect of diuretic treatment added to combined RAS and ETA blockade on histological markers of renal damage. Glomerulosclerosis index (A) and kidney tubulointerstitial injury (B) in sham-operated heterozygous Ren-2 transgenic rats (TGR-sham), nephrectomized TGR (TGR-NX) treated with the renin-angiotensin system blockade alone (RAS), combined RAS + ETA blockade (RAS + ETA); or diuretic given with the combined RAS + ETA blockade (RAS + ETA + Diu). Diu – diuretic # P < 0.05 TGR-sham vs. other TGR-NX-treated groups, $ P < 0.05 TGR-NX + RAS treated vs. other TGR-NX-treated groups, @ P < 0.05 TGR-NX + RAS + ETA + diuretic vs. other TGR-NX-treated groups.
