RENAAL: Reduction of Endpoints in NIDDM with the Angiotensin II Antagonist Losartan

RENAAL: Reduction of Endpoints in NIDDM with the Angiotensin II Antagonist Losartan.

The renoprotective effects of ACE inhibitors (CSG Captopril Trial, 1993) had been established prior to the RENAAL study. This was to evaluate the renoprotective effects of angiotensin receptor blockers

Losartan conferred significant renal benefits in patients with type 2 diabetes and nephropathy, and it were generally well tolerated.
