Major risks indicators for diabetic kidney disease
Journal Title: Journal of the Indian Medical Association - Year 2018, Vol 116, Issue 10
Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy, which is defined as elevated urine albumin excretion or reduced glomerular filtration rate or both, is a serious complication that occurs in 20–40% of all diabetic patients. There is marked racial/ethnic difference besides international difference in the epidemiology of diabetic nephropathy. Hyperglycemia is a well-known risk factor for diabetic kidney disease, in addition to other risk factors such as male sex, obesity, hypertension, chronic inflammation, dyslipidemia, and some genetic loci and polymorphisms in specific genes. Management of its modifiable risk factors might help in reducing its incidence in the near future.
