Chronic kidney disease in patients with diabetes mellitus

Espen Nordheim et al. Endocr Connect. .

Abstract

Chronic kidney disease is a common complication and concomitant condition of diabetes mellitus. The treatment of patients with diabetes and chronic kidney disease, including intensive control of blood sugar and blood pressure, has been very similar for type 1 and type 2 diabetes patients. New therapeutic targets have shown promising results and may lead to more specific treatment options for patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Keywords: diabetes mellitus; diabetic kidney disease; diabetic nephropaty; kidney disease.
