THE FACT
40 % of type 1 and of type 2 diabetics are
at risk of overt nephropathy

VARIETY Trial
A prospective, randomized, open-label blinded end point trial to evaluate whether, at comparable blood pressure control, combined therapies with the ACE inhibitor benazepril and the angiotensin II receptor blocker valsartan, reduce the incidence of microalbuminuria more effectively than benazepril or valsartan alone in hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes and high-normal albuminuria Normoalbuminuria

VALID Trial
A randomized trial to assess the effects, at comparable blood pressure control, of dual renin-angiotensin blockade (RAS) by benazepril and valsartan combination therapy, as compared to single RAS blockade by benazepril or valsartan alone on ESRD and cardiovascular events in high-risk patients with type 2 diabetes and overt nephropathy. VARIETY, VALID trials
To characterize robust biomarkers that would help to identify patients with type 2 diabetes at risk of progressive renal injury and related cardiovascular events as well as for assessing response to treatment These slides are belonging to
