DIABETIC NEPHROPATHY – GENESIS, PREVENTION AND TREATMENT
Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
Diabetic Nephropathy (DN) is the foremost reason of End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) and a major cause of premature deaths amongst people with diabetes. It is one of the most common complications of diabetes mellitus (DM) and has majorly influenced patients’ morbidity and mortality. About 50% of patients suffering from DM for more than 20 years develop this complication. The present review focuses on the global scenario of diabetic nephropathy and different molecular mechanisms involved in its pathogenesis i. e. increased formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), enhanced glucose flux into polyol and hexosamine pathways, activation of protein kinase C (PKC) and other proinflammatory transcription factors. This review also highlights the precautionary measures to be taken by people with diabetes along with the therapeutic interventions involving angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, renin inhibitors, angiotensin receptor antagonists, aldosterone antagonists, protein kinase C inhibitors, mechanistic target of rapamycin (m-TOR) inhibitors, agents inhibiting plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), advanced glycation end products inhibitors, anti-inflammatory agents and antioxidant agents.Â
