but some of these studies were inconclusive because of deficiencies in their design or because changes in renal function were assessed only by measurements of serum creatinine, which may be affected by diet. Furthermore, few previous studies of renal disease have examined the effect on renal function of a reduction in blood pressure to a level below that currently . . .
