The aims of this study were to assess the frequency and determinants of (1) treatment with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-I) and (2) progression to proteinuria in the presence of ACE-I treatment in patients with type 1 diabetes and microalbuminuria. A clinic-based cohort study of patients with type 1 diabetes was begun in 1991. The patients who were included in this study (n = 373) are the cohort members who received a diagnosis of microalbuminuria during a 2-yr baseline observation and were followed for 10 yr with frequent assessments of urinary albumin excretion and biennial examinations. Progression to proteinuria occurred when the median urinary albumin excretion during a 2-yr interval exceeded 299 mug/min. During the decade-long study, the proportion of patients who had a history of microalbuminuria and were treated with ACE-I rose from 17 to 67%. Patients who started this treatment had (on average) higher BP, higher urinary albumin excretion, and longer diabetes duration than those who did not. Microalbuminuria often progressed to proteinuria (6.3/100 person-years) in those who were treated. Poor glycemic control and elevated serum cholesterol were the major determinants/predictors of this progression. Although treatment with ACE-I increased during the past decade, it was not completely effective, because microalbuminuria progressed to proteinuria in many treated patients. Poor glycemic control and elevated serum cholesterol were the major determinants/predictors for progression while on ACE-I treatment. The mechanisms that are responsible for the frequent failure of ACE-I to prevent progression of microalbuminuria to proteinuria in a clinical setting are not clear.
