AbstractBackground. Microalbuminuria is associated with dysfunction of the vascular endothelium in patients with diabetes mellitus. The objective of the present study was to determine whether treatment with losartan at a dose sufficient to lower urinary albumin excretion was accompanied by an improvement in endothelial function in type 2 diabetic patients with microalbuminuria. Methods. Endothelial function was measured in 80 type 2 diabetic patients with microalbuminuria and 68 non-diabetic controls using high-resolution vascular ultrasound. The diabetic patients were randomised to receive either losartan 50 mg daily or placebo in a 6-month double-blind study. Urinary albumin excretion and endothelial function were assessed at baseline, 3 and 6 months. Results. Both endothelium-dependent (p < 0.01) and -independent vasodilation (p < 0.01) were significantly impaired in diabetic patients with or without history of hypertension compared to the non-diabetic controls. At baseline, the losartan- and placebo-treated groups were comparable in their clinical characteristics. Blood pressure did not change significantly in either group throughout the study. Urinary mean albumin excretion rate (MAER) decreased in the losartan-treated group (p < 0.01) whereas an increase was observed in the placebo group (p < 0.05). At 6 months, the losartan-treated group had significantly lower MAER than the placebo-treated group [54.5 (58.3) vs 78.5 (100.5) μg/min, p < 0.05; median (interquartile range)]. No significant differences were found in endothelium-dependent or -independent vasodilation. Conclusions. Type 2 diabetic patients with microalbuminuria have impaired endothelium-dependent and -independent vasodilation. Treatment with low-dose losartan is sufficient to reduce microalbuminuria in these patients without alteration in endothelial function and systemic blood pressure.
