To slow diabetic nephropathy, you can give an ACE inhibitor (i.e., lisinopril) or an ARB. This would to increased dilation of the efferent arteriole and prevent the hyperfiltration injury caused by diabetic nephropathy.
epiglotittiesAlso, by decreasing intraglomerular pressure (through dilation of the efferent arteriole),ACE inhibitors slow GBM thickening. +
