P4.15 EFFECT OF RENIN ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM BLOCKADE ON SOLUBLE KLOTHO, ARTERIAL STIFFNESS AND ALBUMINURIA IN PATIENTS WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES AND SYSTOLIC HYPERTENSION

P4.15 EFFECT OF RENIN ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM BLOCKADE ON SOLUBLE KLOTHO, ARTERIAL STIFFNESS AND ALBUMINURIA IN PATIENTS WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES AND SYSTOLIC HYPERTENSION
