Gluconephrotic Syndrome: A Comprehensive Review.

Abstract

This article provides an overview of the diabetic kidney disease paradigm, explaining important aspects such as prognostic markers, clinical assessments, and therapeutic options. The importance of the term gluconephrotic syndrome (GlucoNS) is emphasized, highlighting its significant influence on clinical evaluations, research procedures, screening techniques, and patient care. This term encapsulates nephrotic syndrome (NS) within the diabetic milieu, shedding light on the intricate relationship between renal complications and diabetes. GlucoNS necessitates a refined approach, considering the unique challenges posed by diabetes in the context of NS. With this review, we want to highlight how important it is to assess diabetes in every case of NS and how important it is to assess albuminuria in every diabetic patient.
