Research Article: Elevated circulating homocysteine concentrations delayed nerve conduction velocity and increase the risk of diabetic kidney disease in patients with type 2 diabetes
Abstract:
Introduction: China has the largest population of individuals with diabetes, and the prevalence of various complications among patients with type 2 diabetes remains high. Diabetic nephropathy affects approximately 20% to 40% of diabetic patients, becoming a major cause of chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease. Furthermore, around 50% of patients develop diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), which is closely associated with physical disability, increased healthcare costs, and reduced work productivity. There is an urgent need for novel strategies in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment to improve patient outcomes.
