Overview

The goals of treatment are to slow the progression of kidney damage and control related complications. The main treatment, once proteinuria is established, is ACE inhibitor drugs, which usually reduce glomerular hypertension, proteinuria levels, systemic hypertension and slow the progression of diabetic nephropathy.

Medical Therapy

Medical treatment in diabetic nephropathy is aimed at slowing the progression of albuminuria. Interventions include improved glycemic control, a strict control of blood pressure, treatment of dyslipidemia, as well as administration of an angtiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARBs).[1][2]

Lifestyle Modifications

The management of diabetic nephropathy depends a lot on lifestyle and dietary modifications. These include:[3]

Glycemic Control

Certain anti-diabetic drugs have additional benefits in addition to lowering blood glucose levels. These include:[5]

Blood Pressure Control

Blood pressure in diabetic patients with nephropathy is aimed at levels of less than 130/80.[3][9][10]

Lipid Therapy

Dialysis

  • Dialysis may be necessary once end-stage renal disease develops.
