Abstract

The main risk factors for diabetic nephropathy are hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia. Nephropathy heralds the downhill course of arteriosclerosis. Early and intensive blood pressure and glucose control will attenuate the course of nephropathy and significantly reduce cardiovascular events and stroke.
