ABSTRACT

Diabetic kidney disease has been considered as an important risk factor of cardiovascular disease. Chronic hypoxia is considered to be the main cause of renal injury. Diminished microcirculatory blood flow could be associated with hypoxia in the kidney. Whether diminished microcirculation is associated with diabetic kidney disease has not yet been reported. Here, we investigated the correlation between microcirculatory function and diabetic kidney disease in patients with type 2 diabetes.
