Abstract:

Introduction: The constantly increasing incidence of type 2 diabetes, probably due to obesity and sedentary life, has led to the increased incidence of macro- and microvascular diabetic complications such as nephropathy. Despite the prompt efforts to develop effective treatments for diabetes and slow the progression of its complications, it is still reported as the most common cause of chronic kidney disease in developed countries. Albuminuria has been widely accepted as the first sign of diabetic nephropathy and an independent factor for acute kidney failure. However, growing evidence suggests diminished kidney function and decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR)in a significant number of non-albuminuric patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, known as non-albuminuric diabetic kidney disease (NA-DKD). This highlights the need for more research on reduced kidney function in non-albuminuric diabetic patients. The present study examined the known epidemiology, pathology, kidney prognosis, and mortality rate from NA-DKD compared to various types of albuminuria. The study also characterized the potential mechanisms of NA-DKD and discussed its future perspective.

Diabetic kidney disease: Is there a non-albuminuric phenotype in type 2 diabetic patients?

BACKGROUND Albuminuria was widely considered as the first clinical sign of diabetic kidney disease (DKD), which is why it has traditionally been used as a screening test for DKD. However, increasing evidence has shown that a significant number of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients have a decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR) without significant albuminuria, known as non-albuminuric DKD...

Bulimia in Diabetic Patients: A Review on Diabulimia

Objective: Eating disorder (bulimia) is common in young diabetic patients which may influence insulin levels. To reduce calories by manipulating insulin is known as Diabulimia.

The Incidence of Cardiovascular Events Is Comparable Between Normoalbuminuric and Albuminuric Diabetic Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease

Diabetic kidney disease leads to microalbuminuria and gradually progresses to overt proteinuria with renal insufficiency. Recent studies have demonstrated that 20% to 40% of patients with diabetic kidney disease are normo- to microalbuminuric, despite reduced renal function. We investigated renal and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with diabetes and renal insufficiency who were normo-, micr...
