Abstract: 

In total, 57 patients (31 males and 26 females) with diabetic nephropathy were studied on a comparative basis to observe the renoprotective effectiveness of eprosartan mesylate and lercanidipine.  Eprosartan mesylate revealed a higher nephroprotective effect compared with lercanidipine at comparable antihypertensive effects of equivalent doses of both these preparations.
