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

This study looked at whether common blood pressure drugs called ACE inhibitors and ARBs help stop kidney disease from starting in people with type 2 diabetes whose kidneys still work well. People taking these drugs had fewer new cases of kidney disease. This shows a link and fits what we know, but a study like this cannot fully prove the drugs caused the benefit.
