Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine whether sodium phenylbutyrate can reduce Lcn2 urinary expression in proteinuric patients.
Detailed Description: Proteinuria is a major prognosis factor of chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression. Convergent evidences from clinical and experimental studies indicate that albuminuria and proteinuria are not simply a marker of CKD progression, but an active player in the evolution of the disease. Mechanistically, it has been shown that proteinuria induces endoplasmic reticulum stress in tubular cells, leading to induction of lipocalin 2/NGAL, a critical element of CKD progression. Moreover, proteinuric mice treated with phenylbutyrate are protected from CKD progression.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of phenybutyrate, a molecular chaperone which inhibits ER stress, on the proteinuria-induced NGAL expression. Urinary NGAL/creatinine ratio will be evaluated in proteinuric patients before and under treatment with phenylbutyrate.
