Abstract
Changes in renal microcirculation represent the important factor in the progression of cardiovascular and renal complications. Microalbuminuria is the earliest indication that indicates the kidney and systemic microcirculatory disorder. the importance of microalbuminuria as a risk factor of increased cardiovascular mortality is well documented. it is therefore extremely important to explore all factors that can prevent the development of microalbuminuria including glomerular hyperfiltration. is it possible to reduce glomerular hyperfiltration and slow progression of diabetic nephropathy?
