Objective To search evidence of angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors for microalbumin-uria in type 2 diabetes for guiding clinical practice.
Methods We searched MEDLINE ( 1970 -Jun. 2005 ) to identify randomized controlled trials (RCT)of the effect on angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors to prevent microalbuminuria in type 2 diabetes.
Results One RCT (n =1 204)was identified. The result showed that angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors were significantly more effective in prevention of microalbuminuria than other medicines in type 2 diabetes. However, angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors may increase the risk of cardiac mortality. We explained the evidence to patients and they were satisfied with our explanation.
Conclusions Angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors can decrease the incidence of microalbuminuria in patients with type 2 diabetes and hypertension.
