Antihypertensive therapy for the prevention of nephropathy in diabetic hypertensive patients

There was no literature evaluating antihypertensive therapies in preventing nephropathy in type 1 hypertensive diabetics. However, in patients with type 2 diabetes and hypertension, multiple studies demonstrate the benefit of an ACEI or ARB in preventing or delaying the onset of nephropathy, while no study demonstrated the benefit of a CCB over an ACEI or ARB.

Due to the lack of literature, hypertension management in type 1 diabetics with normoalbuminuria should be guided by the treatment of comorbidities. To prevent diabetic nephropathy, an ACEI or ARB should be first-line monotherapy over a CCB for the management of hypertension in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension and normoalbuminuria.
