Screening and Application Research of Early Diabetic Nephropathy Markers Based on Lipidomics.

Sponsor: Second Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University

Summary

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the major microvascular complications associated with diabetic patients, and also the major global cause of chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Albuminuria and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) are currently recognized clinical indicators for early diagnosis of DN, however, the sensitivity and specificity are unsatisfactory. The early identification and treatment of DKD are conducive to lowering the risk of kidney damage by as much as 50%. Therefore, it is particularly critical to find new biomarkers to reflect the potential DKD lesions in the clinical silent period earlier and more accurately. Therefore, this study intends to analyze the differentially expressed lipids in early DKD, T2DM and healthy adults by mass spectrometry, and verify the related results by larger samples, so as to screen out early markers of DKD and achieve the ultimate goal of clinical application.
