    Introduction

    Diabetic Nephropathy (DN) is the leading cause of ESRD in the UK. In 2012, DN accounted for 26% of cases ESRD [1], and 40% diabetics will develop DN [2].

    The features of DN are increasing urinary albumin excretion, rising BP and declining renal function [3]. There are specific pathological changes with five different stages. The key is the level of urinary albumin excretion-microalbuminuria (incipient nephropathy) or macroalbuminuria/proteinuria (overt nephropathy) [4]. As it is an asymptomatic process screening is required [2, 3].

    In T1DM microalbuminuria usually appears after 5-15 years post diagnosis, with proteinuria/ macroalbuminuria found in 15-40% [2, 5]. Not all will have increasing UAE in T1DM a third will revert to normal [7].

    Risk factors include duration of DM, hyperglycaemia, hypertension, ethnicity and genetic factors. The UKPDS and DCCT showed that improved glycaemia reduced progression

    [4, 8, 9], and in T2DM, controlling hypertension reduces risk

    [4]. Suppression of RAS is the key to risk reduction [2, 3, 10].

    There is increased cardiovascular risk [2, 3]. Compared to normal UAE, microalbuminuria increases CVD risk by 2-3 times. With proteinuria this risk is increased by 103.

    Diabetic nephropathy can be easily screened for and the modification of risk factors can improve the outcome. We will discuss the risk factors, pathogenesis, staging and treatment of this important cause of mortality and morbidity.

    Search Strategy

    Available studies and abstracts were identified through Pub Med and Medline data bases (From 1998-2019) and Cochrane data bases. Key search terms were diabetes and nephropathy. All available studies and abstracts describing the relationship between diabetes and nephropathy were included. The reference list of review articles was also searched.

    Discussion

    Epidemiology

    Approximately 463 million people worldwide have diabetes and the prevalence is expected to rise to 700 million in the next 20 years [11]. This growing epidemic carries with it an increasing burden of micro and macrovascular complications. Diabetic nephropathy is one of the serious microvascular complications of diabetes [12].

    Diabetic nephropathy is defined as eGFR of 30 mg/g. It occurs in up to 40% of all patients with diabetes [13] and accounts for >44% of ESRD patients [14]. The prevalence of DN has doubled over the past decade, especially in areas of high prevalence of diabetes like USA, Japan and Europe. About 50% of DN patients will progress to ESRD within 10 years of diagnosis, increasing to 75% in 20 years if no preventive measures are implemented [13].

    Diabetic nephropathy contributes significantly to the economic burden of diabetes. In UK, the cost of diabetic complications in

    2011/2012 was estimated at £14 billion, by 2035/2036 this is expected to rise to £22 billion. Worldwide, healthcare costs for diabetic patients are much higher than non- diabetic patients. Also, among diabetic patients the cost of health care is much higher in those with complications (Micro < Macro

    Risk factors for diabetic nephropathy

    Risk factors for diabetic nephropathy include positive family history, hyperglycemia, hypertension, smoking and others.

    Genetics and ethnicity

    There is a concordance of nephropathy among twins having T1DM [17]. There is five times more chance to develop nephropathy in

    diabetic siblings of patient with diabetes and nephropathy [18].

    Beneficial effects of ACE inhibition on nephropathy showed there are high levels of ACE in patients with nephropathy and diabetes,

    especially abnormal alleles of ACE gene carriers [19].

    ESRD is more common in ethnic groups like African Americans, Mexican Americans and Native Americans [20].

    Hyperglycemia

    Hyperglycemia and duration of diabetes is a strong risk factor of diabetic nephropathy [19]. In DCCT and other treatment trials showed lowering glucose levels reduces DN [23]. Diabetic nephropathy is not common in patients with HbA1c

    Microalbuminuria/ a predictor of clinical complications

    Urine albumin ranging from 30 to 300mg in a 24-h urine sample is defined as Microalbuminuria [34, 36, 39].

    Microalbuminuria (MA) and clinical complications

    T1DM: It is an independent predictor of CV risks in patients above the age of 45 years [35].

    T2DM: It is considered to be the harbinger and strongly associated with CV risks and mortality and morbidity [35].

    Part of metabolic syndrome is also manifested by the levels of microalbuminuria in association with other components (metabolic

    like lipids and BP, urate, body habitus and hs-CRP).

    Association with SBP and CRP in causing endothelial dysfunction [35, 37]

    Elevated SBP is associated with generalized endothelial dysfunction and leaky capillaries are associated with albumin

    Gall M et al, in their study showed 13.5% of T2DM had macroalbuminuria. Arterial hypertension was prevalent in 85% and ulcer of foot was seen in 25% [40].

    Susan S et al, in a cross-sectional study involving 947 T2DM patients from year 1990 to 1993. DN was prevalent in 75% among macroalbuminuric patients. Among the patients who were suffering from DN, proliferative retinopathy was detected in 49%. The prevalence of neuropathy was also higher, 68% of patients with macroalbuminuria was having neuropathy. Cardiovascular disease was highly prevalent among those with macroalbuminuria, in 58% of the patients. The study showed an independent association between macroalbuminuria and occurrence of cardiovascular disease [41].

    Prevent nephropathy; optimal glycaemic control, life style, blood pressure and lipids control

    Early management of hyperglycemia, hypertension, dyslipidemia and smoking in diabetic patients, is very important to prevent or delay the progression of DN [51].

    Lifestyle measures include salt restriction, to stop smoking, exercise and maintaining an ideal weight [52].

    Improvement of glycemic control slows the progression and the onset of microalbuminuria in both T1DM and T2DM. The HbA1c target should be < 6.5 % and the greatest benefit comes from early and better control [52].

    Uncontrolled BP leads to progression of proteinuria and deterioration of renal function. The recommended target BP is below 130/80 according to NICE guidelines in both T1DM and T2DM. ACEIs or ARBs are the first drugs of choice and both can slow the progression of DN [52].

    Target LDL-C < 100 mg/dl and < 70 mg/dl in diabetic patient and diabetic with CVD respectively. Collaborative Atorvastatin Diabetes Study (CARDS) revealed a great reduction of CVD and suggested that all DM patients should be on statins [51].

    Management of microalbuminuria [53]

    Management of microalbuminuria involves intensive glycaemic control which reduces the progression of the UAE in both T1DM &T2DM patients.

    Blood pressure control reduces the progression and development of the albuminuria. Treatment with ACEI or ARB’s play a role by reducing the intraglomerular pressure and decreases the hyperfiltration, delays deterioration of the eGFR along with reduction of the BP. Doses are increased to maximum tolerated and approved dose with continuous monitoring of the creatinine and potassium level. Monitoring for UAE to assess treatment response and disease progression is required.

    Other classes of antihypertensive therapy such as the Ca channel blockers, beta blockers and diuretics are used along with ACEI or ARBs for BP control.

    Protein diet restriction delays the progression of albuminuria and delays the deterioration of eGFR.

    Management of macroalbuminuria [53]

    Management of macroscopic albuminuria involves optimization of glucose control, blood pressure, lipids and maintenance of ideal

    body weight through therapeutic life style modification/ reinforcement together with drug adjustment if needed, to achieve

    required target. Vaccination for HBV should be anticipated.

    Monitoring for eGFR every 6 month for deterioration and complications of Chronic kidney disease complications when eGFR<

    Avoid medications that may deteriorate renal function or stopping medications that are contraindicated according to the stage of renal failure.

    Management of different stages of diabetic nephropathy/

    Nephrologist referral

    There should be a multidisciplinary approach to managing patients with diabetic nephropathy, focusing not only on slowing progression but also on modifying cardiovascular risk factors [52]. DCCT trial showed that intensive management of diabetes could delay microalbuminuria and slow the progression of microalbuminuria to proteinuria [54].

    Stage 1; No proteinuria

    Lifestyle Modification Dietary control of CHO and fats and salt restriction. Exercise and stop smoking Glycemic Control: Target HbA1c 1 g/24hr) are indications for referral

    [62].

    Prognosis of Diabetic nephropathy

    Diabetic nephropathy (DN) causes considerable morbidity and mortality. In the US and Europe, DN is the major cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) [63]. Both T1DM and T2DM develop ESRD, but larger proportions affected are those with T2DM, due to the increase in prevalence of T2DM. In T1DM with nephropathy, ESRD accounts for 59-66% of mortality. The

    growing prevalence of ESRD in Europe seen in type 1 diabetics with proteinuria is 50%, while in Type 2 diabetics it is 3-11%, in a period of 10years following the start of proteinuria. The prediction of morbidity and mortality in DN is by Proteinuria. The mortality rate was small and constant in those diabetics who had no proteinuria while those diabetics with proteinuria had 40 times increase in death rate. In a study done in Germany, the chances of surviving for 5 years, in older type 2 diabetics was below 10%, and around 40% in young type1 diabetics [64, 65].

    The prognosis of DN in both T1DM and T2DM has been improving due to the targeted approach, timely recognition of DN and managed appropriately according to the stage.

    Conclusion

    Diabetic nephropathy is one of the commonest microvascular complications of diabetes and is associated with other diabetes related microvascular diseases. It affects 20-40% of people with diabetes and is a leading cause of ESRD53. Interplay of multiple environmental and genetic factors determines its development and progression, the most important of these is uncontrolled hyperglycaemia and hypertension. The hallmark of DN is the presence of microalbuminuria in the early stages which progresses over a variable period to macroalbuminuria and deterioration of the renal function to ESRD requiring RRT.

    Adequate control of blood glucose and hypertension are the mainstay of management in addition to life style interventions similar to those required to manage renal failure due to causes

    [52].
