Residual proteinuria and eGFR predict progression of renal impairment within 2 years in type 2 diabetic patients with nephropathy who are receiving optimal treatment with angiotensin receptor blockers
Aim Proteinuria and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) predict progression of renal impairment in type 2 diabetic nephropathy (DN) but are they still predictive when these patients are treated with angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB)? We investigated whether residual (after ≥3 months of ARB...

Zusammenfassung: | Aim
Proteinuria and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) predict progression of renal impairment in type 2 diabetic nephropathy (DN) but are they still predictive when these patients are treated with angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB)? We investigated whether residual (after ≥3 months of ARB treatment) urinary protein/creatinine ratio (rPCR) or urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (rACR) and residual eGFR (reGFR), predict subsequent progression.
Methods
One thousand, two hundred and forty‐five patients with type 2 DN from two international multi‐center studies were analysed. Cross classification of rPCR, rACR with reGFR (rPCR: |
