Abstract
In normotensive patients with diabetes mellitus type II, the institution of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition during early stages of diabetic nephropathy results in long-term stabilization of plasma creatinine levels and of the degree of urinary loss of albumin. These effects are probably independent of the antihypertensive action of these agents.
