Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The prevalence of diabetes mellitus is increasing worldwide, and its complications are one of the leading causes of mortality from non-communicable diseases. Due to the high prevalence of diabetes and because 30-40% of diabetic patients \[both type 1 (T1DM) and type 2 (T2DM) diabetes mellitus\] develop kidney dysfunction, diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the main cause of end-stage renal disease worldwide. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), endothelin, and urotensin II are vasoactive hormones that have been extensively studied as other mediators although their relation to diabetic nephropathy is still speculative.
