ABSTRACT
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is defined as a progressive pathological condition of the kidney caused by angiopathy of glomerular capillaries. The angiopathy of these capillaries is characterized by a progressive loss of glomerular filtration surface areas and capillary volume. DN is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease, and a major contributing factor to morbidity and mortality of diabetic patients throughout the world.
