<prompt> Which of the following statements about diabetic nephropathy is true:Microalbuminiuria is not an indicator of long term cardiovascular morbidityStrict glycemic control cannot prevent microalbuminuria3-islet cellpancreatic transplantation can improve the proteinuria in early stageAngiotensin receptor blockers have no additive advantage over other drugs except B.P. control Protein restriction is not helpful  <response>: Answer is C 0-islet cellpancreatic transplantation can improve the proteinuria in early stage: Pancreatic transplantation or 3-islet cell transplantation may improve protein aria in early stages. Pancreatic Trnaplantation may improve diabetic nephropathy proteinuria Successful pancreatic transplantation results in normalization of blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin levels. Microalbuminuria is associated with long term cardiovascular morbidity Both microalbuminuria and macroalbuminuria in individuals with DM are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease morbidity - Harrison 17th2287 Strict glycemic control may prevent or reve microalbuminuria With tight control of hyperglycemia and rigrous control of blood pressure the development of microalbuminuria may be prevented or reveed - Harrison 13th1312, Harrison 12th1185 Angiotensin receptor blockers and ACE inhibitors are more effective than other drugs in slowing progression of diabetic nephropathy. Blood pressure control with any agent is extremely impoant, but a drug specific benefit in diabetic nephropathy, independent of blood pressure control has only been shown for ACE inhibitors or Angiotensin receptor blockers. Protein Restriction is helpful in diabetic nephropathy Protein intake should be restricted in diabetic individuals with microalbuminuria and macroalbuminuria to modest levels. - Harrison 17th2289
