[Study of the effect of converting enzyme inhibitors on microalbuminuria in diabetics]. / Etude de l'effet des inhibiteurs de l'enzyme de conversion (IEC) sur la microalbuminurie chez les diabetiques.

The authors report the results of a randomised trial using a converting enzyme inhibitor in 40 microalbuminuric diabetic subjects during 18 months. In the treated group, we observed a reduction of albuminuria from 57.4 mg/24 hours to 35.4 mg/24 hours at the end of the follow up, in contrast with a non significant progression in the group who didn't receive this medication. No significant modification in the clinical and biological parameters was observed during the follow up.
