Protocol summary

Summary
Pentoxyphilin is a phosphodiesterase inhibitor that can decrease proteinuria in patients. The purpose of this study is evaluation of effect of pentoxyphylin on micoalbuminuria in diabetic patients. We selecte 40 diabetic patients that their estimated glomerular filtration rate is higher than 60 mL/min, spot urine albumin-creatinine ratio lesser than 300 mg/g, blood pressure less than 140/90 mmHg by using anti-hypertensive drugs and glycosylated hemoglobin less than 8%. If they have myocardial infarction, stroke, retinal hemorrhage in previous 6 months, immunosupresion drug useage, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs useage or changing in antihypertensive drugs, are excluded from study. The patients are categorized in two groups and receive pentoxyphylin tablet, 400mg, manufactured by Amin Pharmaceutical, IRAN, 3 times a day for 6 months ,or placebo group as the same . Serum creatinine and spot urine albumin-creatinine ratio are measured at the beginning, three and six months later and compared between groups.
