Comparative Study of the Effect of Ace Inhibitors and other Antihypertensive Agents on Proteinuria in Diabetic Patients

  • Chapter

Abstract

In Europe, >25 million persons may have diabetes mellitus (DM), 10% of them type 1 (insulin-dependent) and 90% type 2 (non-insulin-dependent). Diabetics also commonly have hypertension and dyslipidemia and, therefore, are particularly prone to micro- and macrovascular complications, invalidity and early death. In fact, cardiovascular mortality is increased more than 2-fold in diabetics with hypertension and/or microalbuminuria [1–3], and up to a staggering 35-fold once the latter has progressed to clinical nephropathy [4,5].
