Prevention of diabetic renal disease with special reference to microalbuminuria

TLDR
In this paper, the authors developed a strategy to develop programmes for all patients with diabetes, focused on early detection of renal disease followed by intervention, to prevent the development of end-stage renal failure.

TL;DR: Tight blood pressure control in patients with hypertension and type 2 diabetes achieves a clinically important reduction in the risk of deaths related to diabetes, complications related to Diabetes, progression of diabetic retinopathy, and deterioration in visual acuity.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared tight control of blood pressure with less tight control aiming at a blood pressure of <150/85 mm Hg with the use of an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor captopril or a beta blocker atenolol as main treatment.

The effect of irbesartan on the development of diabetic nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes.

TL;DR: Irbesartan is renoprotective independently of its blood-pressure-lowering effect in patients with type 2 diabetes and microalbuminuria, and serious adverse events were less frequent among the patients treated with the drug.

The effect of angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibition on diabetic nephropathy. The collaborative study group

TL;DR: Captopril protects against deterioration in renal function in insulin-dependent diabetic nephropathy and is significantly more effective than blood-pressure control alone.

The effect of angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibition on diabetic nephropathy.

TL;DR: Whether captopril has kidney-protecting properties independent of its effect on blood pressure in diabetic nephropathy is determined.

Microalbuminuria Predicts Clinical Proteinuria and Early Mortality in Maturity-Onset Diabetes

TL;DR: It is concluded that microalbuminuria in patients with Type II diabetes is predictive of clinical proteinuria and increased mortality.

National High Blood Pressure Education Program Working Group report on hypertension in diabetes.

TL;DR: There has been an increased awareness of the importance of flexibility in the use of antihypertensive drugs as well as a refinement of nonpharmacologic approaches in treating people with both hypertension and diabetes.
