Protocol summary

Study aim
To assess effects of pentoxifylline on serum copeptin, osteopontin, cystatinc, HSP70, bilirubin, uric acid, adiponectin, resistin, hs-CRP, TNFα, Apo A, Apo B and the urinary albumin excretion (UAE) rate in patients with type 2 diabetes with nephropathy.
Design
This is a randomized double-blind clinical trial study on 70 patients with type2 diabetes with proteinuria in two groups randomly; including pentoxifylline add on losartan and control group with increasing dose of losartan. Drugs will prescribe to each group for 12 weeks.
Settings and conduct
This is a randomized clinical trial study on patients with type2 diabetes. patients will be randomly divided into 2 groups. Before treatment and after 12 week blood samples will be taken. All samples will be analyzed by standard methods. This study will be conducted at diabetes clinic of the vali-asr hospital in Tehran University of Medical Sciences.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: patients with type2 diabetes with proteinuria. Exclusion criteria are infectious or malignant diseases, non-diabetic kidney disease, retinal hemorrhage, acute myocardial infarction or unstable angina, history of cardiocerbrovascular or peripheral artery disease, uncontrolled hypertension (i.e., systolic blood pressure [SBP] ≥ 140mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure [DBP] ≥ 90 mmHg) , pregnancy, anemia, hyperthyroidism, history of hemodialysis, baseline serum potassium concentrations ≥5.5 meq/L, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 30mL/minute/1.73 m and pentoxifylline intolerance.
Intervention groups
patients with type2 diabetes with proteinuria in two groups including pentoxifylline add on losartan or increased dosage of losartan
Main outcome variables
serum copeptin, osteopontin, cystatin C, HSP70, bilirubin, uric acid, adiponectin, resistin, hs-CRP, TNFα, Apo A, Apo B and the urinary albumin excretion (UAE) rate
