Diabetic nephropathy: evidence for renoprotection and practice.
Patients with diabetic renal disease have a very bad prognosis. Hyperfiltration, related to poor metabolic control, occurs early on in the disease process. There is also an increase in albumin excretion which can be readily reversed by eVective glycaemic control at clinical diagnosis (fig 1). A phase is then entered during which most patients are normoalbuminuric. However, after approximately 1...
متن کاملDPP-4 inhibitors-renoprotection in diabetic nephropathy?
There is no doubt that rates of chronic kidney disease are escalating and that this rise is the main contributor to the increasing prevalence of diabetic nephropathy. It is also clear that the increase in kidney failure continues despite tight blood glucose and blood pressure control, as well as renin-angiotensin system blockade. In response, research into novel therapies to treat diabetic neph...
متن کاملRenoprotection by Telmisartan versus Benazepril in Streptozotocin Induced Diabetic Nephropathy
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the major causes of end stage renal disease. Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor and angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) are preferred for delaying progression of DN. This study compared the preventive renal effects of telmisartan (10 mg/kg, p.o.), an ARB that completely blocks angiotensin action, and benazepril (5 mg/kg, p.o.), an ACE inhibitor, whi...
متن کاملOptimal dose of losartan for renoprotection in diabetic nephropathy.
BACKGROUND Angiotensin II subtype-1 receptor antagonists represent a valuable new class of drugs in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy. The aim of our study was to evaluate the optimal dose of losartan for renoprotection and blood pressure reduction in diabetic nephropathy. METHODS Fifty consecutive hypertensive type 1 diabetic patients with diabetic nephropathy received increasing doses o...
متن کاملDiabetic nephropathy: can renoprotection be extrapolated to cardiovascular protection?
Recent years have seen the seemingly unstoppable attack by cardiologists on all diseases that limit cardiovascular health. Nowhere is this more evident than in the case of diabetes mellitus, the subject of an important article in this issue of Circulation1 that relates to renoprotection in type 2 diabetes mellitus. As a background, type 2 diabetes is increasing in incidence and cardiological si...
