Slowing nephropathy progression: focus on proteinuria reduction.
نویسنده
چکیده
Blood pressure control reduces decline of kidney function. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers offer renoprotection to a small extent beyond that attributable to blood pressure lowering. These agents also reduce proteinuria, a risk marker for renal disease progression. Accumulating evidence indicates that their antiproteinuric effect correlates with their additional renal benefits.

Efficacy of pentoxifylline for reduction of proteinuria in type II diabetic patients
Background: Diabetic nephropathy is considered to be the most common cause of end stage renal disease (ESRD). Proteinuria is declared as the most marked risk factor in progression towards ESRD. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of pentoxifylline for reduction of proteinuria in type II diabetic patients. Methods: From May 2007 to June 2008, this randomized clinical trial study w...
متن کاملDiabetic nephropathy: the proteinuria hypothesis.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Proteinuria, nearly a universal finding in progressive kidney disease, has been the subject of frequent recent analyses in the renal literature. Proteinuria is a hallmark of diabetic nephropathy: microalbuminuria is the principal early predictor for progression of diabetic glomerulopathy, and proteinuria may be viewed as a measure of the severity and promoter of progression of n...

This review will discuss therapeutic strategies, aimed at control of blood pressure and proteinuria,...
متن کاملEffects of antihypertensive drugs on renal function in patients with diabetic nephropathy.
Hypertension occurs about twice as frequently in diabetics as in the general population, with a prevalence of approximately 25% in young patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and 50% in patients with newly diagnosed non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). Studies strongly suggest that hypertension is involved in the progression and perhaps the onset of diabetic nephr...
