Trial summary

The angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor drugs are now standard therapy for patients with diabetic nephropathy. The hypothesis of this study is that adding a diuretic agent (furosemide) will decrease the urine protein, which is a sign of disease, more than an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor alone.
