Research Notes on Diabetic Nephropathy

Diabetic nephropathy is damage that results as a complication of diabetes or kidney disease. The exact cause of diabetic nephropathy is unknown, but it is thought that uncontrolled high blood sugar leads to the development of kidney damage as a result of diabetes mellitus.

Fast Facts:

  • Diabetes mellitus is a disorder in which the body is unable to metabolize carbohydrates (e.g., food starches, sugars, cellulose) properly
  • Approximately 25% to 40% of patients with DM 1 ultimately develop diabetic nephropathy
  • In severe cases diabetic nephropathy can lead to kidney failure
