Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) delay progression of the inherited renal disease Alport syndrome. However, the effect of ACEis weakens gradually due to an "aldosterone escape". Here, we investigate if an aldosterone antagonist can counteract loss of ACEi-efficacy. COL4A3-/- mice were treated with ramipril (ACEi), starting at 4.5 weeks of age, and spironolactone was added at 7 weeks of age. Lifespan until renal failure, as well as kidney function parameters, were investigated. Dual therapy decreased proteinuria levels
