MANAGEMENT OF HYPERTENSION IN DIABETIC PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Diabetes Nutrition and Metabolic Diseases - Year 2011, Vol 18, Issue 2
Abstract
Diabetes mellitus and hypertension are the most common causes of end-stage renal disease. Blood pressure goals in patients with diabetic kidney disease are <130/80 mmHg. The first line therapy for hypertension in these patients are the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and/or the angiotensin II receptor blockers. These drugs delay the onset of microalbuminuria, retard progression from microalbuminuria to macroalbuminuria, reduce the urinary albumin-creatinine ratio and improve glomerular filtration rate.
