DKD is now recognized as the primary cause of chronic and end-stage-renal disease worldwide. The disease is characterized by changes in renal function and structure, followed by a gradual decline in kidney function, leading to ESRD. Risk factors for DKD include age, sex, race/ethnicity, family history of hyperglycemia and AKI. Recent studies have shown that certain medication classes, such as SGLT-2 inhibitors, can protect the kidneys independent of diabetes control. However, there are still gaps in our understanding of DKD, and its diagnosis is subjective due to the lack of a noninvasive biomarker. This makes it challenging to design clinical trials to identify effective treatments for the disease. Our review article aims to provide information on basic mechanisms of DKD, various treatment strategies and challenges by using personalized approaches to diagnosis and prevention.

Hurler syndrome is also known as MPH I. A hereditary sickness of the lysosome is a result of a deficiency in the enzyme alpha-L-iduronidase, which breaks down glycosaminoglycans (GAG or mucopolysaccharides). As a result, tissue harm from dermatan sulfate and heparin sulfate worsens over time until death. Umbilical hernias are ventral hernias that arise at or across the umbilicus. This situation of a case report describes the surgical treatment of an umbilical hernia in a 4-year-old pediatric patient, a known case of Hurler syndrome. The patient received treatment for an umbilical hernia, a confirmatory test was performed for Hurler syndrome, and the only patient complaint related to it—corneal clouding—was treated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
