Brief Summary: The purpose of the investigators study is to assess the impact of therapy with Pentoxifylline PTF a nonspecific phosphodiesterase inhibitor on kidney function in patients at high-risk for progression to end-stage renal disease The investigators hypothesize that therapy with Pentoxifylline will slow progression of kidney disease over time
Detailed Description: The treatment objective for chronic kidney disease CKD regardless of etiology is to slow or halt progression of renal dysfunction and reduce proteinuria in those patients with proteinuric renal disease Multi-drug medical regimens remain the cornerstone of therapy for medical-renal disease often with an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor andor an angiotensin receptor blocker These therapies though often efficacious have not been shown to halt disease progression entirely and the medical therapy of renal disease remains suboptimal

PTF is a safe generally well-tolerated drug currently indicated for symptomatic and functional relief of intermittent claudication presumed due to chronic occlusive arterial disease of the limbs A number of small studies in patients across a range of renal disease states show that PTF can reduce proteinuria an important component of treatment of CKD It is not known however if the drug will slow progression of CKD as measured by glomerular filtration rate

Comparisons subjects randomized to receive PTF compared with those randomized to receive placebo
