Risk Factors of Diabetic nephropathy
The major risk factors for diabetic nephropathy include:
  • Hyperglycemia
  • Hypertension
  • Long duration of diabetes
  • High intake of proteins
  • Genetic or environmental factors1

There is a greater risk of losing life, when a person has associated coronary artery disease. However, as the treatment options for coronary artery diseases are improving, persons with type 2 diabetes may survive long enough to develop end stage renal disease.
