Roles of Growth Factors in Diabetic Kidney Disease

  • Chapter
The Kidney and Hypertension in Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract

Diabetic kidney disease is characterized by an early increase in kidney size, glomerular volume and kidney function and later by the development of mesangial proliferation, accumulation of glomerular extracellular matrix (ECM), increased urinary albumin excretion (UAE) and glomerular sclerosis. The search for significant pathogenic mechanisms in diabetic kidney disease has focused on the early events, at the point in time when the above mentioned pathophysiological changes take place. Several metabolic, functional and structural renal changes in streptozotocin (STZ)-diabetic rats have fundamental similarities to those occurring in diabetic patients and this model has accordingly been used extensively in diabetes research aiming to elucidate the pathogenesis of diabetic kidney disease.
