BP but not glycemia correlated with GFR decline in type 1 diabetic nephropathy; leaves open whether BP lowering slows progression.
Does blood pressure or metabolic control correlate with the rate of GFR decline in patients with type I diabetic renal failure?
In patients with type I diabetic renal failure, the rate of GFR decline correlates significantly with blood pressure patterns rather than blood glucose control.
Berglund et al. (1985) studied this question.
