Diabetic nephropathy is a dangerous and insidious complication of diabetes mellitus. The course is variable and from the statistical point of view usually unfavorable. The pathogenesis of the complaint is not fully known. Of the numerous hypotheses, the one most favored is a defective glucose metabolism with uncontrolled inundation of the kidney cells with glucose.
