Prevention of new-onset chronic kidney disease with renin–angiotensin system blockers in type 2 diabetes with preserved kidney function

Paper C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study looked at people with type 2 diabetes who still had healthy kidneys. Those taking blood pressure drugs called ACE inhibitors or ARBs seemed less likely to develop new kidney disease. These drugs relax blood vessels and ease pressure inside the kidney. The finding shows a link and cannot fully prove the drugs prevent kidney disease on their own.
