Abstract
DIABETIC nephropathy is a major cause of morbidity and is associated with increased cardiovascular mortality in type 2 diabetes mellitus.1-3 The specific pathological changes in the kidney, the clinical course, and the overall risk to develop nephropathy are quite similar in both types of diabetes.4-6This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
