Abstract
A 60-year-old man with recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus has a serum creatinine level of 1.5 mg per deciliter (133 μmol per liter), and a dipstick test shows proteinuria (++). His blood pressure is 150/90 mm Hg. He smokes half a pack of cigarettes daily. What can be done to reduce the risk of progressive renal disease?
