Introduction Microalbuminuria in type 1 diabetes is the earliest manifestation of diabetic microangiopathy (nephropathy). To date, the pharmacological approach to microangiopathy has not been shown to be useful. By using aminaphtone to control nephrologic complications of insulindependent diabetes mellitus we first obtained a significant improvement in microalbuminuria confirming this new pharmacological approach for insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus organospecific complications control. Case presentation After being treated with standard therapy for insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (insulin) for more than 20 years, a 49-year-old white man affected by insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus adopted the standard therapy aminaphtone for a period of 2 months. This therapy allowed a significant reduction of proteinuria from baseline evaluation that immediately increased after he stopped aminaphtone therapy. Conclusions Aminaphtone therapy, used globally in the treatment and prevention of endothelial dysfunctions, could be an interesting option for patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus with the express purpose of preventing diabetic nephropathy.
