Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a major complication of diabetes mellitus. One third of patients with advanced diabetes mellitus can develop to uremia, which seriously endangers people’s health. In recent years, with the improvement of people’s living standards and the increasing incidence of diabetes, it has become the main cause of end stage renal disease in China. Over the past two decades, the understanding of diagnosis and treatment of DKD has been improved, such as putting forward the new concept of normoalbuminuric DKD and developing a variety of new anti-diabetic drugs. However, at present, the basic strategies of DKD treatment are still lifestyle modification, glucose control, blood pressure control and lipid control.
