Prevention of new-onset chronic kidney disease with renin–angiotensin system blockers in type 2 diabetes with preserved kidney function

Paper C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

In people with type 2 diabetes whose kidneys still worked normally, taking blood-pressure drugs called RAS blockers (ACE inhibitors or ARBs) was linked to fewer new cases of chronic kidney disease. This kind of study shows a link, not firm proof of cause. Still, it supports using these drugs early to protect kidneys.
