Abstract:
Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a systemic
disease, more frequent among close relatives. DM
poses as a risk factor to many conditions, a few of
which include AKI, CKD. The most prevalent renal
manifestation of diabetes mellitus is with diabetic
nephropathy.
Purpose: To evaluate the peculiarities of renal
complicity in diabetes mellitus and to draw a
conclusion.
Material and methods: A systematic review of scientific
articles from various medical databases such as
PubMed,Scope, MedLine with criteria as: 1) English
language; 2) 10 and more citations of article.
Results: In humans, the kidneys play a critical role in
glucose management, reabsorbing 99 % of the plasma
glucose that passes through the glomeruli tubules. DM is a
condition in which chronically elevated blood sugar levels
(glucose) is present. The Diabetic nephropathy (DN),
commonly known as diabetic kidney disease, is one of the
most common causes of death among diabetics.
Conclusions: Diabetic nephropathy must be diagnosed early in order to effectively manage diabetes and
associated consequences, such as nephropathy. For avoiding and preventing the deterioration in renal function,
strict control of modifiable risk factors is critical.
