Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This investigation is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial in adult diabetic Pima Indians with normal urinary albumin excretion (albumin-to-creatinine ration less than 30 mg/g) or microalbuminuria (albumin-to-creatinine ration = 30-299 mg/g) to test the hypothesis that blockade of the renin-angiotensin system with the angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) losartan can prevent or further attenuate the development and progression of early diabetic nephropathy in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are receiving standard diabetes care. One hundred seventy subjects were recruited for the study, all of whom had type 2 diabetes for at least 5 years, serum creatinine concentrations less than 1.4 mg/dl, and no evidence of non-diabetic renal diseases. Ninety-two of the subjects had normal urinary albumin excretion at baseline and other 78 had microalbuminuria. Subjects in each albumin excretion group were randomized to treatment with either the angiotensin II receptor antagonist, losartan, or placebo. Measurements of glomerular filtration rate (GFR), renal plasma flow (RPF) and fractional clearances of albumin and IgG will be made initially, at one month, and at 12-month intervals from baseline thereafter. A kidney biopsy was performed after six years in 111 subjects. Morphometric analysis of renal biopsies was used to determine differences in glomerular structure between treatment groups.
