Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Percent change in urinary albumin creatinine ratio (UACR) [Baseline and 3 months]
measuring UACR pre and post experiment and substracting and dividing on baseline level
- Absolute change in Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) [Baseline and 3 months]
substracting pre-treatment from post-treatment values of EGFR
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change in Urinary pro-inflammatory cytokine MCP-1 [Baseline and 3 months]
substracting pre-treatment from post-treatment values of Change in Urinary pro-inflammatory cytokine MCP-1
- Change in serum irisin level [Baseline and 3 months]
substracting pre-treatment from post-treatment values of serum irisin level
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: diabetic patients with persistent micro- or macroalbuminuria despite treatment with the maximum tolerated dose of ACE inhibitors for at least 8 weeks before the screening and randomization

Exclusion Criteria:
- moderate to severe hepatic disease (Child-Pugh B or C) severe renal disease (eGFR<15 ml/min) body-mass index below 25 kg/m2 concomitant use of strong cytochrome P450 inducers (e.g. rifampicin, phenobarbital, carbamazepine, phenytoin) known psychiatric illness, congestive heart disease patients with allergy for roflumilast pregnant and lactating women
