Abstract
Progression of chronic renal failure can be retarded (slowed or arrested) by administering to humans suffering from such disorder an agent which suppresses the production of glucocorticoids in the human. The agents may be administered alone or in combination with a protein restricted and/or phosphorus restricted diet. Examples of suitable agents which either suppress production of glucocorticoids or block binding to their receptors include sodium valproate, enkephalins, opioids, clonidine, ketoconazole, oxytocin, and mifepristone.
