| Abstract | ||
| Background:The presence of insulin resistance (IR) and compensatory hyper-insulinemia is strongly associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages and constellates with other abnormalities such as obesity, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. CKD is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. A variety of factors, including inflammation, oxidative stress and metabolic acidosis are associated with insulin resistance. Aim: To identify the relationship between insulin resistance and diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Patients and Methods: The study was performed as a cross-sectional study including 84 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus admitted in Suez Canal University Hospitals. Results: In diabetics with normal kidney function 28.6% of had IR, while 78.6% of diabetic patients with late DKD had IR according to HOMA- IR with significant relationship between the progress of DKD and IR(p value ≤ 0.05).Conclusion: The presence of insulin resistance is strongly associated with DKD and its progress. | ||
