Brief Summary

Kidney disease affects about one out of three people with diabetes mellitus, a common medical problem. Treatment of kidney disease with medications that lower blood pressure can slow the kidney diseas...

Detailed Description

The long-range objective of this project is to prevent progression of diabetic nephropathy, the leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). In most patients diabetic nephropathy progresses inexor...
