Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the important microvascular complications of diabetes. Currently, there is a lack of highly sensitive and specific biodiagnostic markers for non-invasive diagnosis of DN. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are widely present in organisms and play a key role in a variety of physiological and pathological processes, participating in the pathogenesis of DN. The discovery of blood- and urine-specific miRNAs in patients with DN provides a new direction for the search for diagnostic markers of DN, and will play an important role in the diagnosis of DN and the assessment of disease severity.
Key words:
