OR-54: Antiproteinuric efficacy of eplerenone, enalapril, and eplerenone/enalapril combination therapy in diabetic hypertensives with microalbuminuria

Hypertensive patients with diabetes have increased likelihood of proteinuria, a predictor of end-stage renal disease. This 24-week, double-blind study compared the renal and antihypertensive effects and the tolerability of eplerenone (EPL), a selective aldosterone blocker, enalapril (ENAL), an ACE i...

This 24-week, double-blind study compared the renal and antihypertensive effects and the tolerability of eplerenone (EPL), a selective aldosterone blocker, enalapril (ENAL), an ACE inhibitor, and EPL+ENAL combination therapy in hypertensive patients with diabetes and proteinuria. Diabetic type 2 patients with mild-to-moderate hypertension (DBP ≥95 mmHg and
