An Update of the Diagnosis for Diabetic Kidney Disease
ABSTRACT
Diabetes mellitus is a growing burden on global healthcare. Although the definition of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is that the kidney disease due to type 1 or 2 diabetes, the clinical diagnosis of DKD remains controversial. The diagnosis of DKD is highly subjective, depending on the doctor’s judgment and experience. It is necessary to distinguish the non-diabetic kidney disease from DKD at an early time, however, it is also seems difficult and inefficient. Up to date, there is lack of the diagnostic flow diagram for the disease. In this mini-review, we for the first time focused to create a diagnostic workflow for the disease.
