TL;DR: New studies in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus on the transition from normo- to microalbuminuria show that high normal excretion rate and poor metabolic control are associated with progression.

TL;DR: Assessment for baseline proteinuria as a continuous covariate should be prespecified in the design and analysis of clinical trials involving renal outcomes, even when patients are stratified on the basis of level of proteinuria.

TL;DR: It seems possible to distinguish diabetic patients with essential hypertension from diabetics with elevated blood pressure due to early or advanced nephropathy, and a positive correlation between UAE and blood pressure but a considerable overlap in BP and UAE values is found.

TL;DR: In a cohort of patients receiving antihypertensive treatment predominantly consisting of beta blockers in combination with diuretics, support for an improved survival has been presented and addition of ACE inhibition to such a combination treatment may be favorable both due to the suggested renoprotective effects of ACE inhibitors and because diuretic activate the renin-angiotensin system.

TL;DR: The effect of simvastatin on OPG and adhesion molecules in type 2 diabetic patients at increased risk of CVD and potentially modifiable by statins is examined.
