A prospective study of glomerular filtration rate and arterial blood pressure in insulin-dependent diabetics with diabetic nephropathy

Abstract: Summary. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR, single bolus 51Cr-EDTA technique), serum creatinine, proteinuria and arterial blood pressure have been measured prospectively in 14 young onset insulin-dependent diabetics selected by of persistent proteinuria (> 0.5g/day) secondary to diabetic nephropathy. Twelve of the 14 patients had normal serum creatinine levels. None of the patients received antihypertensive treatment. During the mean observation period of 26 months (range 23 to 33 months) GFR decreased from 107 … Show more

“…In other studies blood pressure was found to be higher in patients with microalbuminuria (before GFR decreases) than in those with normoalbuminuria, [10,22,23] but a Danish study suggested that blood pressure does not rise until microalbuminuria has been established for several years [24]. Studies showing that a parental history of hypertension is associated with nephropathy in the offspring [25,26,44] suggest that, at least to some extent, elevations in blood pressure precede the onset of renal disease.…”

“…In patients with Type 1 diabetes, systemic hypertension has been shown to enhance the development of diabetic nephropathy, while effective antihypertensive treatment reduces albuminuria and diminishes the rate of decline in glomerular filtration rate [29,30]. Systemic hypertension is frequent in Type 2 diabetic patients with elevated urinary albumin excretion [9].…”

“…RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS -We identified all albuminuric type 1 diabetic patients (n ϭ 301) followed for at least 3 years, median (range) 7 years (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14), who underwent at least yearly measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) by the 51 Cr-EDTA plasma clearance technique (n ϭ 8, range 3-24). In total, 192 men and 109 women were included (age [mean Ϯ SD] 36 Ϯ 11 years, duration of diabetes 22 Ϯ 8 years); 271 patients were treated with antihypertensive drugs, predominantly ACE inhibitors in 179 patients.…”
