Abstract:
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a common microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus. Cardiovascular disease often occurs in patients with DN. Patients with DN often experience changes in cardiac structure and function as proteinuria increases, glomerular filtration rate decreases, and blood creatinine levels increase, leading to the occurrence of cardiovascular disease. Additionally, inflammatory factors play a crucial role in cardiac structure and function. Understanding the pathological and physiological effects of inflammation on diabetic nephropathy-related cardiovascular disease and clarifying the relationship between cardiac structure and function in patients with DN are crucial for effective prevention and treatment of DN.
