The Course of Renal Function before and during Antihypertensive Treatment in Diabetic Nephropathy

  • Chapter
The Kidney and Hypertension in Diabetes Mellitus

Part of the book series: Topics in Renal Medicine ((TIRM,volume 6))

Abstract

Approximately 40% of all insulin-dependent diabetic (IDDM) patients ultimately develop the clinical syndrome of diabetic nephropathy: persistent proteinuria associated with a decline in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and elevated blood pressure [1–3]. This complication is the main cause of the increased morbidity and mortality in IDDM patients [4]. Renal failure due to nephropathy is the major cause of death (30%) in IDDM patients [2]. On average, death occurs 7 years after the start of persistent proteinuria. During the last decade, our knowledge with respect to prediction, development, progression, and treatment of diabetic nephropathy has increased tremendously. This chapter reviews renal function before and during antihypertensive treatment.
