Prevalence and risk factors of diabetic nephropathy among type 2 diabetes patients in family medicine clinic AFHSR Khamis Mushait
Our estimate for diabetic nephropathy prevalence is exceedingly low compared to global figures. This may be related to impaired identification of diabetic nephropathy in Saudi Arabia. Our survey is the first in Saudi Arabia to confirm a link between reduced fertility and diabetic nephropathy. Our study, also, uniquely identifies a strong link between hypertriglyceridemia and diabetic nephropathy among Saudi patients.
