Summary
Kidney disease affects about one out of three people with diabetes mellitus, a common medical
problem. Treatment of kidney disease with medications that lower blood pressure can slow the
kidney disease but there is no known cure. This study is designed to test the hypothesis that
certain combination-based blood pressure lowering regimens (of FDA approved medications) are
better than single agent-based regimens for lowering blood pressure and further slowing or
preventing progression of this incurable disease
