Abstract
Patients with type 2 diabetes are at enhanced risk for macro- and microvascular complications. Albuminuria and/or reduced kidney function further enhances the vascular risk. We initiated the Aliskiren Trial in Type 2 Diabetes Using Cardio-Renal Endpoints (ALTITUDE). Aliskiren, a novel direct renin inhibitor, which lowers plasma renin activity, may thereby provide greater cardio-renal protection compared with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) alone.
