ABSTRACT:
Progression of chronic renal failure can be retarded or arrested by administering to humans suffering from such disorder an agent which suppresses the production of glucocorticoids in the human together with a glucocorticoid. An example of an agent which suppresses the production of glucocorticoids includes ketoconazole. Exemplary of the glucocorticoid is prednisone.
