Reent studies show that appreiable proteinuria is assoiated with a muh more rapid progression of disease than is moderate albuminuria.2 Progression is also losely assoiated with raised blood pressure, but appreiable albuminuria in itself seems to be an important prognosti indiator. Before linial proteinuria ours (maroalbuminuri patients always go through a stage of miroalbuminuria, often lasting 1 years. Diabeti renal disease develops in stages, espeially in patients with insulin dependent diabetes.3-5 Classifiation aording to the degree of albuminuria is important beause patients with perfetly normal albumin exretion rates usually have a good long term prognosis, although some (about 4% per year) of them will progress from normoalbuminuria to miroalbuminuria.6 On the other hand, patients with persistent miroalbuminuria have (without intervention) a muh poorer prognosis, with a muh higher risk of progression to overt renal disease over the following deade.3 Aording to new morphometri studies, this is not surprising beause miroalbuminuria indiates that patients are in a more advaned stage of glomerular disease.7 Stages of renal disease* in patients with insulin dependent diabetes Br Heart (Supplement) 1994; 72: diabetes. Poor glyaemi ontrol is an important fator determining transition to miroalbuminuria and probably progression of the miroalbuminuri state,6 1" 2 but metaboli ontrol is diffiult in these patients. Ourrene of raised blood pressure in renal diabeti disease INSULIN DPNDNT DIABTS MLLITUS The prevalene of hypertension in patients with insulin dependent diabetes defined aording to the World Health Organisation's and inluding patients reeiving treatment, is similar in patients with normoalbuminuria and the general population.'3 The prevalene of hypertension inreases sharply in patients with miroalbuminuria, and most patients with overt proteinuria have lassi hypertension. Soon after the ourrene of miroalbuminuria, blood pressure may inrease Therefore the main group of patients with insulin dependent diabetes that are given antihypertensive treatment are those with miroalbuminuria or overt renal disease. On the other hand, some patients with insulin dependent diabetes may have raised blood pressure before miroalbuminuria-that is, oinidental essential hypertension. Also, it is important to note that some patients with normoalbuminuria will part of the natural ourse of the disease beause during the first few years of diabetes most patients after metaboli stabilisation will have normoalbuminuria. Renal damage learly inreases the longer the duration of diabetes.

2 Renoprotetive role of AC inhibitors in diabeti nephropathy S 39.3 fa.25.2 NON-INSULIN DPNDNT DIABTS MLLITUS The situation in patients with typial noninsulin dependent (type 2) diabetes is somewhat different.'4 Many of these patients have hypertension when diabetes is diagnosed, and they may have renal ompliations when they are first seen. Aording to a reent survey in general pratie in Denmark, more than 3% of patients with newly diagnosed diabetes had miroalbuminuria and about 6% linial proteinuria, with a male preponderane.'4 There is a weak orrelation between the degree of albuminuria and blood pressure. Also, many patients are already reeiving antihypertensive treatment. Albuminuria also orrelated with degree of glyaemia and with triglyeride onentrations. With more advaned renal disease blood pressure tended to inrease further, and an even larger proportion of patients require antihypertensive treatment when overt renal disease is present." Transition from normoalbuminuria to miroalbuminuria INSULIN DPNDNT DIABTS MLLITUS New studies measuring ambulatory blood pressure have learly indiated that transition from normoalbuminuria to miroalbuminuria is assoiated with a onomitant inrease in ambulatory blood pressure over 24 hours. The onset of miroalbuminuria is always assoiated with a rise in blood pressure, but the onverse is not neessarily true.6 In patients developing miroalbuminuria the inrease in blood pressure was fourfold ompared with that in those patients who did not do as well as healthy ontrols. Therefore, early in the ourse of renal ompliations, raised blood pressure is important, although it is diffiult to outline learly the prime abnormality as patients developing miroalbuminuria already have albumin exretion rates in the upper part of the normal range, around 1,ug/min. These observations suggest a radial new preventive approah. Maybe patients with normoalbuminuria at risk of renal progression should in the future be treated with antihypertensive agents even if they do not have high blood pressure. An important reent prospetive study also shows that transition from normo- I x C _253 xq C o I 4 Plaebo nalapril U- Figure 1 Filtration fration and frational albumin lears plaebo or enalapril 3 mg per day in nine patients with ii normoalbuminuria. 8 albuminuria (defined as < 3 Vig/min: a rather high value) to miroalbuminuria (. 3 p.g/min) is assoiated with higher initial albumin exretion as well as some hypertension.'2 In patients with miroalbuminuria even slight inrease in blood pressure promotes progression.3 NON-INSULIN DPNDNT DIABTS MLLITUS Usually there is a gradual inrease in albuminuria with time in patients with noninsulin dependent diabetes. In the normoalbuminuri stage, however, many patients remain stable despite a long duration of diabetes.'6 Albuminuria inreases by about 2% per year, and this is related to the attained blood pressure (A Shmitz, personal ommuniation). This again suggests the deleterious effet of even a slight inrease in blood pressure in type 2 diabetes. Glyaemi ontrol is also likely to be affeted, but so far there are no published long term studies on optimised diabetes ontrol in patients with type 2 diabetes, although important work is in progress."' Many patients with type 2 diabetes are elderly and have onfounding risk fators, so it is hazardous to extrapolate the enouraging data on glyaemi ontrol in patients with type 1 diabetes to this population. l Clinial trials in patients with normoalbuminuria INSULIN DPNDNT DIABTS MLLITUS AC inhibition in patients with albuminuria is assoiated with a signifiant redution in filtration fration and frational albumin learane (fig 1).18 Importantly, in this study there was no signifiant hange in lini based blood pressure, although ambulatory blood pressure over 24 hours was not measured. The redution in filtration fration ould, in theory, be assoiated with a derease in hydrauli glomerular pressure, whih in turn ould explain the redution in albuminuria. Although it is too early to reommend antihypertensive treatment in suh patients, this study underlines interest in linial trials in this area. Patients at risk of developing miroalbuminuria-namely, patients with poor metaboli ontrol (glyated haemoglobin (HbA,) > 9-1%), some persistent borderline inrease in albumin exretion already (> 1-12,ug/min), and possibly severe hyperfiltration (glomerular filtration rate > 15 ml/ min)-should be enrolled in linial trials to see whether the development of miroalbuminuria an be prevented. 22- = NON-INSULIN DPNDNT DIABTS MLLITUS -o 92 Reent studies show that AC inhibitors redue blood pressure effetively in patients with non-insulin dependent diabetes, but to redue albuminuria within normal exretion seems to be diffiult.

Chan et al showed that AC inhibitors effetively redued miroalbuminuria, an effet whih was superior to that of the alium bloker nifedipine, but this was a fairly short study.2 The most impressive study was onduted by Ravid et al, omparing enalapril with onventional antihypertensive treatment, to ontrol for hanges in blood pressure (fig 3).36 The group given AC inhibitors showed an initial redution in albuminuria followed by stabilisation for five years.36 A steady inrease was observed in the ontrol group. More importantly, an index of glomerular filtration rate-namely, reiproal serum reatinine onentration-was stabilised by enalapril, whereas in the ontrol group the reiproal steadily delined. (ight year follow up provides similar results (M Ravid, personal ommuniation).) The reent study by Laouriere et al, shows that miroalbuminuria an be redued by an AC inhibitor in ontrast to onventional treatment,19 but they did not find an effet on glomerular filtration rate in the three years of the study. Also, the development of maroalbuminuria was prevented in the patients with onsistent miroalbuminuria. These three studies point to the importane of early intervention in patients with diabetes and slight albuminuria. Inrease in blood pressure further strengthens this indiation, as reently shown by Lebovitz et al, who found that a fall in glomerular filtration rate was redued in miroalbuminuri patients by AC inhibitors.37 Overt diabeti renal disease INSULIN DPNDNT DIABTS MLLITUS Antihypertensive treatment not only redues albuminuria in patients with overt renal disease but also learly redues the rate of deline in glomerular filtration rate.8 The initial studies used a ombination of P blokers and diuretis. Reent studies suggest that AC inhibitors may have a more pronouned antiproteinuri effet. The most extended study on this subjet, by Bjork et al, finds that in advaned diabeti nephropathy AC inhibitors are more effiient, not only in their antiproteinuri effet but also in reduing the rate of deline in glomerular filtration rate (fig 4).38 Clearly, muh of the effet of antihypertensive agents on the rate of deline in glomerular filtration rate in diabeti patients with nephropathy is related to the effet on blood pressure.3 The study by Bjork et al suggests that an additional effet is obtained using AC inhibitors, at least when ombined with diuretis.38 The superiority of AC inhibitors was, however, not observed in all studies.39 NON-INSULIN DPNDNT DIABTS MLLITUS Bakris et al studied patients with type 2 diabetes and linial proteinuria.4 Lisinopril and ertain alium blokers not only redued proteinuria but also redued the rate of fall in glomerular filtration rate.4 4' These studies were, however, fairly short term, with a maximal follow up of 1-5 years.4' Further studies are needed. Patients with advaned renal disease INSULIN DPNDNT DIABTS MLLITUS An interesting end point is the effet on the rate of deline in glomerular filtration rate. In one study aptopril delayed the time to doubling of the serum reatinine onentration in patients with overt renal disease and insulin dependent diabetes (fig 5),42 reduing mortality and the need for dialysis or renal transplantation. AC inhibitors were highly effetive in reduing the blood pressure in these patients, and this may have aounted for muh of the benefit. This is the first ontrolled study to doument a signifiant effet on ritial end points.

6 Renoprotetive role of AC inhibitors in diabeti nephropathy S 43 glomerular vessels. If the hypothesis is orret that proteinuria in itself provokes renal damage by inreased mesangial and interstitial flux of protein, a redution in proteinuria would learly be benefiial.47 Inhibition of growth fators may also be operating. There are many other reports on the effets of AC inhibitors on renal funtion and proteinuria, most of whih, but not all, have shown benefit and broadly support one or more of the above hypotheses.48-9 When to start antihypertensive treatment in insulin dependent diabetes The most reent studies suggest that antihypertensive treatment should be started in the miroalbuminuri phase. This treatment should probably be introdued irrespetive of blood pressure, but of ourse with low blood pressure a more onservative attitude should apply. Blood pressure usually inreases without treatment during follow up. Some evidene suggests that glomerular filtration rate will remain well preserved if patients remain miroalbuminuri or show redution to normoalbuminuria. AC inhibitors, often ombined with small doses of diuretis, are then partiularly useful with limited or no effet on gluose and lipid homoeostasis. Triple treatment with diuretis, AC inhibitors, and 3, blokers also seems to be effetive.29 3 Obviously, areful monitoring for hanges in serum potassium onentration as well as glomerular filtration rate (serum reatinine onentration) is warranted, as well as areful ontrol of blood pressure and monitoring of other side effets, espeially in more advaned renal disease. Pregnany or the desire for pregnany is a lear ontraindiation for treatment. The disease proess is to some extent similar in the miroalbuminuri and maroalbuminuri stages. Sine preserving glomerular filtration rate is learly benefiial in overt renal disease, similar benefits may be assumed among patients with miroalbuminuria. This onept is supported by several studies. Importantly, the role of optimising diabetes ontrol has reently been emphasised. "l A low protein diet may also result in a benefiial effet on renal funtion.9' Brief suggestions for young and middle aged patients with type 2 diabetes From a theoretial point of view the same guidelines an be used in patients with noninsulin dependent diabetes as for those with insulin dependent diabetes. Of ourse, higher blood pressures should be aepted to allow for the age dependent rise in pressure. Patients under 6 years old may be treated similarly to patients with insulin dependent diabetes after the effet of age on blood pressure has been taken into onsideration. So far there are no long term linial trials in older patients. xperiene indiates that AC inhibition and onventional antihypertensive treatment redue blood pressure effetively in older patients with insulin dependent diabetes. Miroalbuminuria may also be redued, but there are no long term data that glomerular filtration rate is preserved. Generally, the guidelines for younger patients may be aeptable, but a higher blood pressure should be tolerated. If antihypertensive treatment redues blood pressure and albuminuria with stable glomerular filtration rate, this is probably benefiial. Patients should be arefully monitored for hypotensive and other side effets, whih are likely to be more prevalent in older people. 1 Mogensen C, ed.
