Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy is a clinical syndrome of albuminuria, declining glomerular filtration rate, and increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Multiple mechanisms have been implicated in its pathogenesis. Although current therapies appear to be effective, treatment of diabetic nephropathy remains suboptimal. This review summarizes the recently emerging evidence suggesting that peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma agonists may prove to be effective therapeutic agents in the treatment of diabetic renal complications.Entities:
