Study 1: A chronic angiotensin II receptor blockade reduces intrarenal vascular resistance in patients with type 2 diabetes.
"Increased (intra)renal activity of the renin-angiotensin system may cause a persistent increase in renovascular resistance and intraglomerular pressure in patients with diabetes, thus contributing to the development of diabetic renal damage. The effect of chronic angiotensin II subtype I receptor blockade on (intra)renal hemodynamics in patients with type 2 diabetes was examined in a double-blind parallel group study. Patients were...
