Summary

This study looked at whether adding allopurinol (a gout medicine) to lisinopril (a blood pressure drug) could better protect kidneys in people with type 2 diabetes who have normal uric acid levels. Eighty participants were split into two groups: one received both drugs, the other lisinopril alone. Researchers tracked kidney function over a year to see if urine albumin levels rose significantly.
