Emerging evidence, mainly from animal studies, suggests that renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system may be major importance pathogenesis indicates angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-I) angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) as a potentially useful therapeutic approach. However, data human studies are limited contradictory. In addition, there few randomized controlled trials (RCTs) effects ACE-I or ARB patients with most retrospective pilot prospective post hoc analyses clinical trials. Accordingly, more larger RCTs needed to directly assess effectiveness ARBs NAFLD.
