Diabetic kidney disease is a common complication of diabetes where the kidneys are unable to properly filter waste products from the blood. This can lead to serious health issues such as kidney failure and the need for dialysis or a kidney transplant. Research in this area focuses on understanding the underlying mechanisms of diabetic kidney disease, developing new diagnostic tools, and finding effective treatments to slow or prevent its progression. Additionally, researchers are investigating ways to better manage blood sugar levels and blood pressure to reduce the risk of developing diabetic kidney disease.
