This study consists of a double-blind, placebo-controlled experimental design. Subjects will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: (#1) vitamin D (cholecalciferol, 4000 IU) with glucosamine sulfate (1000 mg) and omega-3 fatty acids (eicosapentaenoic (EPA, 580 mg) and docosahexaenoic (DHA, 470 mg) acids), (#2) vitamin D (cholecalciferol, 4000 IU) with matching glucosamine sulfate and omega-3 fatty acid placebo supplements, or (#3) matching vitamin D, glucosamine sulfate and omega-3 fatty acid placebo supplements. Supplements will be taken daily for 84 days (12 weeks). Groups will be permuted in random blocks of six.

Placebo group will receive 1 tablet of cellulose pill to mimic pentoxifylline tablets three times a day with meals, during the following two years.

Pentoxifillyne or experimental group will receive 400 mg of pentoxifylline three times a day with meals, during the following two years.

Chronic Kidney Disease stage3 and 4

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Pentoxifylline or placebo will be prescribed three times a day with meals. All the participants will continue with the usual treatment. Time frame: two years

Pentoxifylline Effect in Patients With Diabetic Nephropathy.(PENFOSIDINE STUDY)

Pentoxifylline Effect on Renal Function, Oxidative Stress, Inflammation, and Fibrosis Markers, and Quality of Life in Patients With Diabetic Nephropathy

It will be measure as to duplicate serum creatinine levels from baseline (mg/dL), or to pass from a stage of chronic kidney disease to he next stage (GFR mL/min)

The change in vit C level from baseline (normal range 4-8.8mg/ L)

Change in Nt_ProBNP from the baseline (Normal values up to 381 pg/mL)

To assess inflammation high sensitivity C reactive protein will be measured by nephelometry. (normal value < 5 mg/L

This outcome will be measured by the SF 36 questionnaire, themaximun punctuation is 100, as greater punctuation a better quality of life

The individual participant data for all primary and secondary outcome measures will be made available
