title: [Prediction, screening and treatment of renal complications of diabetes].
abstract: Diabetic nephropathy is a glomerular disease, which causes most of premature mortality observed in diabetic patients. The risk of diabetic nephropathy is not entirely accounted for by diabetes duration and control. Diagnosis has been improved by sensitive assays for urinary albumin (microalbuminuria). Treatment relies up on early and liberal use of several antihypertensive agents. Among them, angiotensin I converting enzyme inhibitors rank first, because of their efficacy.
