Answer:

The answer to the question: A treatment for early nephropathy is:____. It may even slow progression, would be: the use of pharmacotherapy with ACE´s (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors) and also with ARBs (angiotensin II receptor blockers).

Step-by-step explanation:

Nephropathy is a condition most commonly found in patients with diabetes and it is characterized by a damage of the kidneys and their filtering function, due to constant exposure to high blood pressure, and high osmolarity due to presence of high levels of glucose in the filter. In order to reduce the damage caused by diabetes, and especially high blood pressure, a condition to which the kidneys are very susceptible, treatment today still goes straight to the use of angiotensin inhibitors, and blockers, to reduce the production of this enzyme that generates further increases in blood pressure. These are ACEs and ARBs.
