EVALUATION OF EARLY VASCULAR LESION OF THE RENAL IN DIABETIC NEPHROPATHY

In diabetic nephropathy, pathological changes in the renal vessels occur due to chronically high blood sugar levels, which leads to thickening of the capillaries, narrowing of their lumen, and deterioration of blood flow in the kidneys [1,3]. The filtering element of the kidneys are the renal glomeruli. They are, first of all, damaged by diabetes due to high blood sugar levels. These pathological changes in the renal vessels and glomeruli lead to diabetic nephropathy [2,6]. This destroys the glomeruli - the filtering structures of the kidneys, causing glomerulosclerosis, decreased filtration function of the kidneys, and the development of chronic renal failure (CRF) [4,5].
