Abstract

National guidelines recommend angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) therapy for diabetic patients with hypertension and/or proteinuria to hinder renal disease progression. However, little is known about the adequacy of adherence to these guidelines in diabetic patients and about the predictors of such appropriate ACEIs or ARBs use. We sought to define the rates of ACEIs and ARBs use in a large population of patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN).
