Nifedipine CR and sacubitril valsartan combo alleviates progression of diabetic nephropathy with hypertension
China: A recent study published in International Immunopharmacology by Yinyu Wei and colleagues showcases the efficacy of a combination of nifedipine controlled-release tablets and sacubitril valsartan in patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN) accompanied by hypertension. With over a hundred participants, this prospective randomized controlled study aims to shed light on a potential treatment approach for this often intricate health concern.
The study enrolled 112 participants with a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) exceeding six years. Randomly divided into two groups, the participants underwent different treatment regimens. One group received nifedipine-controlled-release tablets combined with valsartan, while the other received nifedipine-controlled-release tablets combined with sacubitril valsartan.
- The results showcased that after a three-month treatment period, the observation group (nifedipine controlled-release tablets combined with sacubitril valsartan) exhibited significantly lower levels of various clinical indices, renal function indicators, endothelial function indicators, and inflammatory response factors compared to the control group.
- Glycosylated haemoglobin, fasting blood glucose, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and other key parameters experienced a reduction in the observation group.
