Diabetic Nephropathy




The most common cause of ESRD in USA.
Accounts for nearly 40% of ESRD in USA. This
proportion of ESRD due to DN is less in Europe
than in USA.
Incidence is increasing, accounted for 10% in
1973 but now around 40% of USRD populations.
However one needs to keep in mind all diabetic
patients with ESRD do not have DN as underlying
cause of ESRD.
Diabetic Nephropathy



Mortality of ESRD patients with Diabetes Mellitus
is higher than in ESRD patients without Diabetes.
This higher mortality is due to increase in
Cardiovascular, cerebro-vascular, peripheral
vascular and infection related morbidity.
In USA the health care cost for diabetic ESRD
patients has approached to $ 2 billion per year.
Patient Survival on Dialysis by Cause of
Renal Failure
From UpToDate v 6.2; Data from USRDS 1995 Annual Report
Diabetic Nephropathy



DN occurs in 35-40% of patients with type I
diabetes (IDDM) whereas it occurs only in 1520% of patients with type II diabetes (NIDDM).
More frequent in Native Americans, Hispanics and
possibly Asian Indians.
Definition or Criteria for diagnosis of DN
 Presence
of persistent proteinuria in sterile urine of
diabetic patients with concomitant diabetic retinopathy
and hypertension.
D.N.- Pathogenesis

Familial - Genetic
 Only
35-40% patients with IDDM develop DN.
 There is an increased risk of DN in a patient with
family member having DN.
 Increased predisposition of Native Americans, Hispanic
to DN.
D.N.- Pathogenesis

Glycemic Control-in both expt & human
 DN
does not occur in euglycemic patients.
 In early 80s some controversy but DCCT confirmed
role of hyperglycemia in pathogenesis of DN.
 Renal transplant with early DN showed structural
recovery in euglycemic receipient. (Abouna)

Microalbuminuria in Type 1 Diabetes mellitus

D.N.- Pathogenesis





Glomerular Hyperfiltration
Glomerular Hypertension
Glomerular Hypertrophy
GBM thickening
Mesangial Expansion
D.N.- Pathogenesis

Renal lesions mainly related to
extracellular matrix accumulation
- Occurs in glomerular & tubular basement
membrane
- Principal cause of mesangial expansion
- Contributes to interstitium expansion
D.N.- Pathogenesis

Extracellular matrix accumulation
- Imbalance between synthesis & degradation of
ECM components
- Linkage between glucose concentration & ECM
accumulation
- Transforming growth factor-Beta associated with
increased production of ECM molecules
D.N.- Pathogenesis

Extracellular matrix accumulation
- TGF-B can down regulate synthesis of ECM
degrading enzymes & upregulate inhibitors of
these enzymes
- Angiotensin II can stimulate ECM synthesis
through TGF-B activity
- Hyperglycemia activates protein kinase C,
stimulating ECM production through cyclic AMP

Natural Course of D.N.
Stage 1: Renal hypertrophy - hyperfunction
 Stage 2 : Presence of detectable glomerular
lesion with normal albumin excretion rate &
normal blood pressure
 Stage 3 : Microalbuminuria
 Stage 4 : Dipstick positive proteinuria
 Stage 5 : End stage renal disease

D.N.- Pathogenesis

Hypertension - in both expt & human
 Hypertension
follows 8-10 years of hyperglycemia
in IDDM patients but it is frequently present at the
diagnosis of NIDDM.
 Many experimental & human studies have shown
HTN accelerating progressive renal injury in DN.

microalbuminuria study




590 NIDDM patients with HTN and microalbuminuria
with nearly normal GFR.
Randomly assigned to placebo, 150 mg or 300 mg of
irbesartan for 2 years.
Primary outcome was time to the onset of diabetic
nephropathy (urinary albumin excretion rate >200
mcg/min and at least 30% greater albuminuria)
14.9% patients on placebo group, 9.7% of irbesartan
150mg group and 5.2% of irbesartan 300 mg group
reached the primary point.

D.N.-Management

ACEI or AII RB- in both expt & human
 Reduce
glomerular hypertension
 Reduce proteinuria independent of
hemodynamic effects
 Reduce glomerular hypertrophy
 well tolerated apart from hyperkalemia &
worsening of anemia in severe CRF
 Cautious use in presence of severe renovascular
disease
DN: ADA Position Statement
Screening:
Perform an annual test for the presence of microalbuminuria in
1)
type 1 diabetic patients who have had diabetes > 5 years and
2)
all type 2 diabetics patients starting at diagnosis.
Treatment:
•
•
•
•
In the treatment of albuminuria/nephropathy both ACE inhibitors and
ARBs can be used:
In hypertensive and nonhypertensive type 1 diabetic patients with
microalbuminuria or clinical albuminuria, ACE inhibitors are the initial
agents of choice
In hypertensive type 2 diabetic patients with microalbuminuria or
clinical albuminuria, ARBs are the initial agents of choice.
If one class is not tolerated, the other should be substituted

National Kidney Foundation Recommendations on
Treatment of HTN and Diabetes
Blood pressure goal: 130/80 mmHg
 Target blood pressure: 125/75 for patients
with >1 gram/day proteinuria
 Blood pressure lowering medications
should reduce both blood pressure +
proteinuria
 Therapies that reduce both blood pressure
and proteinuria have been known to reduce
renal disease progression and incidence of
ischemic heart disease
