The leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is diabetic nephropathy. Interventions that prevent or palliate renal disease have a positive impact by improving patient care and diminishing healthcare costs. The following review summarizes clinical trals that evaluated treatment in various patient populations including Type 2 diabetic patients with microalbuminuria, subjects with proteinuric non-diabetic nephropathies, and Type 1 and Type 2 diabetic patients with overt nephropathy. These clinical trials have demonstrated that agents directly affecting the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system provide renal protection beyond that attributable to blood pressure control.
