Background. Angiotensin II subtype-1 receptor antagonists represent a valuable new class of drugs in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy. The aim of our study was to evaluate the optimal dose of losartan for renoprotection and blood pressure reduction in diabetic nephropathy.Methods. Fifty consecutive hypertensive type 1 diabetic patients with diabetic nephropathy received increasing doses of losartan, 50, 100, and 150 mg once daily in three periods each lasting 2 months. At baseline and at the end of each treatment period, albuminuria, 24-h blood pressure (TM2420 A&D), and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) ([Cr-51]EDTA plasma clearance) were determined.Results. Baseline values of albuminuria (geometric mean (95% CI)) and GFR (means +/- SEM) were 1138 (904-1432) mg/24 h and 91 +/- 3 ml/min/1.73 m(2), respectively. The blood pressure at baseline was 155/81 +/- 3/2 mmHg. All doses of losartan reduced albuminuria and blood pressure. Albuminuria was reduced by 30% (95% CI (15-41)) on losartan 50 mg, 48% (35-57) by losartan 100 mg, and 44% (32-56) by losartan 150 mg (all P values
