According to the latest survey, about 30%-35% people with diabetes can experience kidney damage. Due to inadequate secretion of insulin and glucose and lipid metabolism disorder, the glomerular capillary endothelial cells will be damaged, if not controlled, other renal structures like glomerulus and interstitial will be affected.

As the pathological process is latent and there are usually no symptoms in the early stage, the best treatment period can be delayed. Once it progress into permanent proteinuria, 50% patients will experience kidney failure within 10 years.
