Diabetic Nephropathy in People With Diabetes. Prevalence and Predictive Factors
Recruiting now
Conditions studied: Chronic Kidney Diseases, Albuminuria, Diabetic Kidney Disease, Diabetic Nephropathies, Diabetes type2, Molecular Sequence Variation, Kidney Biopsy
In brief
a prospective, observational, multi-center study with a cohort of 300 patients with Type 2 diabetes and macroalbuminuria. Prospectively we will collect kidney biopsies and analyse the transciptome of the kidney tissue and other biomarkers from blood, faeces, urine, proteomic- and metabolomic profiles and DNA-variants. Thereby we hope to be able to discover molecular and clinical profiles, that can help us in the diagnosis of DKD, and to identify different risks of progression that can benefit from different forms of personalized treatment.
