| | The results from such studies have led the American Diabetes Association to recommend ARBs as the treatment of choice for patients with type 2 diabetes and diabetic nephropathy, and ARBs or ACEIs for patients with microalbuminuria. | | | For example, one study using ACE inhibitor/ARB combination therapy revealed a greater reduction in proteinuria for subjects on a low-sodium diet compared to those on a high sodium diet. | | | To examine the optimal dosages of ACE inhibitors and ARBs, Marc S. Weinberg, MD, Rush Presbyterian/St Luke's Medical Center, Chicago, Illinois, United States, and colleagues reviewed several comparative studies in diabetic subjects that evaluated the effect of usual or high doses of RAS blockers as monotherapy or combination therapy. |
