The RRF value obtained at the Screen B visit, must not be less than 50% of the RRF value obtained at the Screen A visit 6. Patients must be at least 18 years of age 7. Patients must have a mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) on three readings at both Screen A and Screen B visits ≤ 160 mmHg and ≥ 90 mmHg 8.

Patients must be willing and able to cooperate with all aspects of the protocol 11. Patients must be willing and able to give written informed consent to participate in the study. They must provide consent for access to medical data according to appropriate local data protection legislation and allow authorization to access medical records that describe events captured in the endpoints Exclusion Criteria: 1.

History of Hepatitis C Antibody + being treated with antiviral therapy 5. History of an organ transplant 6. A planned renal transplant from a living donor during the study 7. History of hospitalization for congestive heart failure or pulmonary edema within 12 weeks before study randomization 8. History of cirrhosis of the liver 9. History of amyloidosis or light chain nephropathy 10. History of hemoglobin A1c level \> 11.0% (97 mmol/mol) within 12 weeks before study randomization 11. History of recently active cardiovascular disease defined as: 1. Unstable angina pectoris within 12 weeks before study randomization 2. Myocardial infarction, coronary artery bypass graft surgery, or percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty/stent within 12 weeks before study randomization 3. Cerebrovascular accident, including transient ischemic attack within 12 weeks before study randomization 12. History of a diagnostic or interventional procedure that required intravenous administration of an iodinated contrast agent or gadolinium within 12 weeks before study randomization 13. History of known severe obstructive valvular heart disease or severe obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 14. History of known 2o or 3o atrioventricular block not successfully treated with a pacemaker 15. History or resuscitated sudden cardiac death 16. History of an automatic implantable defibrillator 17. QTc greater than 0.50 seconds on an ECG obtained during either Screen A or Screen B visits 18. A serum magnesium level less than 1.4 meq/L on either Screen A or Screen B visit laboratory test results 19. History of systemic immunosuppression for more than 15 days, cumulatively, within the 12 weeks prior to study randomization or anticipated need for more than 15 days of immunosuppression during the study 20. Total bilirubin, aspartate transaminase (AST), or alanine transaminase (ALT) level greater than the upper limit of normal (ULN) or alkaline phosphatase level greater than two times the ULN on either the Screen A and Screen B visit laboratory test results 21. Known hypersensitivity to any component of the study drug 22. Current history of drug or alcohol abuse, as assessed by the investigator 23. History of clinically significant infection requiring intravenous administration of antibiotics or hospitalization within 12 weeks before study randomization 24. In patients who have been on peritoneal dialysis for ≥ 6 months, two or more episodes of peritonitis in the 6 months before study randomization. In patients who have been on peritoneal dialysis for \<6 months, one episode of peritonitis before study randomization 25. History of a diagnosis or treatment of a malignancy in the past 5 years, excluding non-melanoma skin cancer and carcinoma in situ of the cervix 26. History of a clinical condition that, in the judgment of the investigator, could potentially pose a health risk to the patient while involved in the study 27. Patient is unable to communicate or cooperate with the investigator due to language problems, poor mental development, or impaired cerebral function 28. Participation in a clinical study involving any intervention within 30 days prior to Screen A visit, concurrent participation in such a study, or participation in a prior clinical study involving bardoxolone methyl in any form 29. Female patients who are pregnant, intend to become pregnant during this study, or are nursing
