May support albuminuria regression with SBP <120 mmHg in T2D; leaves open whether intensive targets improve hard renal outcomes.
Does tight glycemic and blood pressure control prevent progression or induce regression of albuminuria in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes?
Tight blood pressure control (SBP <120 mmHg) combined with strict glycemic control (HbA1c ~6.5%) is associated with high rates of albuminuria regression and low rates of progression in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes.
