[Diabetic nephropathy: a review for clinicians].
Diabetic nephropathy is one of the most serious complications of diabetes mellitus because of the associated mortality and morbility. The proteinuria, together with hypertension and renal function, are the clinical features. It is linked with a major prevalence of the other late complications of the disease. In recent years progress has been made in the knowledge of the natural history of the disease, as well as, its predictive factors. We review the etiopathogenia, the actual therapeutic management with special emphasis on hypertension treatment and the controversial metabolic control.
