2. 1. Searching for new biomarkers of diabetic nephropathy in Malaysian subjects with type 2 diabetes

   Author : Norhashimah Abu Seman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : According to the latest National Health and Morbidity Survey reports in year 2011, the prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Malaysia has risen to 20.8%, much faster than expected. Of concern, 57% of T2D patients in Malaysia had diabetic nephropathy (DN). READ MORE

4. 2. Genetic and epigenetic studies of diabetes and diabetic nephropathy with focus on the IGF-IGFBP axis

   Author : Tianwei Gu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Diabetes and diabetic nephropathy (DN) are complex diseases reflecting a complex interplay between genetic and non-genetic factors. The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) - IGF binding protein (IGFBP) axis plays an important role in the development of diabetes and DN. READ MORE

5. 3. Renal effects of C-peptide in experimental type-1 diabetes mellitus

   Author : Björn Samnegård; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Diabetic nephropathy; C-peptide; captopril; albuminuria; glomerular hyperfiltration; glomerular hypertrophy; glomerular mesangium expansion; type-IV collagen; RAGE; renal blood flow;

   Abstract : The incidence and prevalence of diabetic nephropathy are increasing continuously, mainly due to the increase in type-2 diabetes. In contrast, the risk of diabetic nephropathy for the individual patient has decreased considerably in recent decades due to improved glycemic control, successful treatment of hypertension and hyperlipidemia and the use of renin angiotensin system inhibitors, which have protective effects beyond those on blood pressure.

6. 4. Some lifestyle-related factors and risk of chronic renal failure : a population-based approach

   Author : Elisabeth Ejerblad; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Epidemiology; population-based; case-control; chronic renal failure; risk factors; smoking; antioxidant; fruit; vegetable; protein intake; obesity; birth weight; height; analgesics; paracetamol; aspirin; NSAIDs; phenacetin;

   Abstract : Some renal diseases, i.e. rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis, are sufficient causes of a rapid, permanent total loss of renal function. However, the majority of renal diseases progress slowly over decades, initially often without symptoms, sometimes making it difficult to define the aetiologies. READ MORE

7. 5. Glycaemic Control and Complications in Type 1 Diabetes

   Author : Mats Bojestig; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : There have been substantial changes in the management of diabetes since the 1960' s.We studied all 213 patients in our catchment area in whom Type I diabetes was diagnosed before the age of 15 years between 1961 and 1980, 92% were followed from the onset of diabetes to 1991 or to the time of deathThe cumulative incidence of diabetic nephropathy has decreased substantially in recent decades from 30% to 9% after 25 year's diabetes duration, probably as a result of improved glycaemic control.
