Abstract

Nephropathy is one of late microvascular complications of diabetes being the major cause of end-stage renal disease. Clinical trials have demonstrated that intensive treatment of hyperglycaemia is associated with decreased risk of this complication. However choice of hypoglycemic treatment in patients with diabetic nephropathy remains an important issue. The aim of this article was to review the possibilities of oral hypoglycemic treatment in diabetic patients regarding the stage of renal function. (Diabet. Prakt. 2011; 12, 4: 121–127)
