Diabetic nephropathy results from diabetes,which is the second reason forming
end-stage renal disease, and it ranks only second to the glomerulonephritis.As
complicated metabolic disorders,once it develops into end-stage renal
disease,its treatment will be more troublesome than other kidney diseases.So it
is important to treat diabetes timely.
1. Renal hemodynamic abnormalities
In the early stage of diabetic nephropathy we can observe renal hemodynamic
abnormalities,and it can show glomerular high perfusion,high filtration,the rise
of renal blood flow, glomerular filtration rate,meanwhile it will increase more
quickly after absorbing protein.

2.Hyperglycemia causing metabolic disturbance
Hyperglycemia is caused by the change of renal hemodynamics,and metabolic
disorders lead to kidney damage. The mechanism of metabolic disorders leading to
kidney damage including:kidney local sugar metabolic disorder, it can by
non-enzymatic glycation forming AGES, the activation of polyol pathway, the
activation of diacylglycerol-protein kinase c,having sugar amine pathway
metabolic abnormalities.
3.Hypertension
Almost every diabetic nephropathy patients with the symptoms of hypertension,
in type 1 diabetic nephropathy, hypertension and microalbuminuria happen
parallelly, but it will appear before diabetic nephropathy happens in type 2
diabetic nephropathy. It is closely related to control blood pressure and the
development of diabetic nephropathy.
4.Vascular active substances metabolic abnormalities
The development process of diabetic nephropathy will show vascular active
substances metabolic abnormalities, and it includes the metabolic disorder of
RAS,ET, prostaglandins, growth factors.
5.Genetic factors
The proportion of diabetic nephropathy is higher in male than female. 40%-50%
type 1 diabetes patients will show the symptoms of microalbuminuria, and about
20%-30% type 2diabetes patients will develop into diabetic nephropathy. All of
above indicates that genetic factors play a important role in diabetic
nephropathy.
