The RENAAL Study has confirmed the renoprotective effects of Losartan in type 2 diabetes. In this subgroup analysis from the RENAAL Study, we hypothesized that the intensive care received by patients in a clinical trial setting also reduced the rate of decline in renal function through optimization of all risk factors.
