Definition

The course of diabetic nephropathy in patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes is as follows:

  • Changes in urinary albumin excretion

  • Decline in glomerular filtration rate (GFR)

  • Development or intensification of hypertension, dyslipoproteinaemia or other complications typical in diabetes patients.

The nephropathy stages and associated secondary diseases are given in [Table 1].
