Abstract

According to the IDF, Egypt will project from the ninth leading country in the world for the number of people with diabetes in 2024 to the sixth leading country in 2050.

DKD is the most common cause of ESRD. It occurs in 20-40% of individuals with DM. It is a clinical syndrome characterized by persistent albuminuria and/or a progressive deterioration in renal function in the absence of other causes of kidney damage.
