Diabetes and the associated complications are becoming a serious global threat and an increasing burden to human health and the healthcare systems. Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the primary cause of end‑stage kidney disease. Abnormal angiogenesis is well established to be implicated in the morphology and pathophysiology of DN. Factors that promote or inhibit angiogenesis serve an important role in DN. In the present review, the current issues associated with the vascular disease in DN are highlighted, and the challenges in the development of treatments are discussed.
糖尿病及其相关并发症正成为严重的全球威胁,给人类健康和医疗体系带来越来越大的负担。糖尿病肾病(DN)是导致终末期肾病的主要原因。已有充分证据表明,异常血管生成与 DN 的形态和病理生理学有关。促进或抑制血管生成的因素在 DN 中起着重要作用。本综述重点阐述了与 DN 血管疾病相关的当前问题,并讨论了治疗方法开发所面临的挑战。
