Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy is the most serious complication of diabetes mellitus and the most common cause of end-stage renal disease. It can be possible to dissect the exact mechanism of development and progression of diabetic nephropathy because the new biomedical tools for studying disease have been developed. This review explores the new insights into the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy, focusing the newly recognized pathways which include growth factors and inflammatory cytokines.
