| Main Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of Linagliptin in comparison to placebo on the urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) in patients with high blood pressure and an increased albumin excretion. ;Secondary Objective: NA;Primary end point(s): •Albumin/Creatinine Ratio (UACR) in 24h hour urine under standardized in house condition •24 hour urinary sodium excretion under standardized in house condition •Fasting cystatin C •Fasting serum and urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) •Urinary N-acetyl-ß-o-glucosaminidase •Urinary nephrin •Urinary podocin •Fasting cGMP •Fasting serum ADMA •Fasting hsCRP •Fasting TGF-ß1 •Fasting serum and urinary IL-18 •Retinal endothelial function •Retinal microvascular blood flow •24h blood pressure measurements ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: after approx. 16 weeks of treatment | — |
