Abstract:
Diabetic kidney disease （DKD） has become the first cause of chronic kidney disease （CKD） hospitalisation in China， and is also the main cause of end-stage renal disease （ESRD） and new haemodialysis. DKD has an insidious onset， low awareness， continuous progression， and poor prognosis. Moreover， there is still a lack of effective medication and management. Accurate assessment and identification of high-risk patients with poor clinical prognosis of DKD， as well as early intervention， is of great significance to the improvement of survival rate， quality of life， and prognosis for patients with DKD. Current methods of DKD prognosis assessment mainly include pathological typing， clinical indicators， mathematical models， and biomarkers. Various methods provide means for early prediction and intervention of DKD prognosis， but each has its own advantages and disadvantages. This article provides a review of recent research progress， conducts an in-depth analysis of the application of various DKD prognostic assessment methods in clinical practice， and further explores the potential for combining different methods. It aims to provide a theoretical basis for optimizing diagnostic and treatment processes and for the exploration and development of future DKD prognostic assessment methods.
