Does valsartan reduce urine albumin excretion rate more effectively than amlodipine in patients with type 2 diabetes and microalbuminuria?
Does valsartan reduce urine albumin excretion rate more effectively than amlodipine in patients with type 2 diabetes and microalbuminuria?
Valsartan provides a blood pressure-independent reduction in microalbuminuria compared to amlodipine in patients with type 2 diabetes, highlighting its specific renoprotective effects.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Valsartan reduces microalbuminuria more than amlodipine despite equivalent BP control; confirms BP-independent renoprotective effects in type 2 diabetes.
Viberti et al. (2002) studied this question.
