Diabetic Kidney Disease: Pathophysiology and Therapeutic Targets

Abstract: Diabetes is a worldwide epidemic that has led to a rise in diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Over the past two decades, there has been significant clarification of the various pathways implicated in the pathogenesis of DKD. Nonetheless, very little has changed in the way clinicians manage patients with this disorder. Indeed, treatment is primarily centered on controlling hyperglycemia and hypertension and inhibiting the renin-angiotensin system. The purpose of this review is to describe the current understanding … Show more

“…In addition to CVD, chronic hyperglycaemia leads to microvascular complications in patients with T2D, including kidney disease, retinopathy and neuropathy . The underlying mechanisms of diabetic kidney disease include changes in haemodynamic, metabolic and inflammatory pathways that result in impaired renal function (Figure ) . Chronic hyperglycaemia in patients with T2D may also contribute to the development of diabetic kidney disease by inducing thickening of the glomerular basement membrane and podocyte injury .…”

“…This increased filtration pressure promotes glomerular injury, eventually leading to glomerular sclerosis (Figure ) . Additionally, endothelin 1 is thought to play a role in increasing efferent arteriolar vasoconstriction . Metabolism and inflammation in the context of diabetic nephropathy are intimately related.…”

“…Diabetic nephropathy (DN), also called diabetic kidney disease (DKD), is one of the long‐term complications of diabetes mellitus and globally represents the leading cause of end‐stage renal disease (ESRD), since it affects nearly 20–40% of patients undergoing dialysis (Toth‐Manikowski & Atta, ). Due to the higher prevalence of diabetes, estimated for the next years (King et al ., ; Guariguata et al ., ), this percentage is expected to further increase.…”
