Effect of Chicken-Based Diet Versus Enalapril on Albuminuria in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and Microalbuminuria: a One-Year Randomized Controlled Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating enalapril and chicken diet for Microalbuminuria and Diabetic Nephropathy. Completed, enrolled 28 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a chronic diabetic complication and affects up to 40% of patients. The first line treatment for DN is angiotensin blockers drugs that are used to reduce the protein concentration in urine.Previous data showed that this protein, namely albuminuria, could also be reduced in a short term-period by the replacement of red meat in the diet with chicken. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of this chicken diet with enalapril on albuminuria in a long-term period( 12 months)in type 2 diabetic patients.
