Brief Summary

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

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the most significant cause of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Albuminuria, evolving from microalbuminuria to nephrotic-range proteinuria, is a clinical hallmark of diabetic nephropathy (DN). It develops in about a third of diabetic patients and is considered an independent risk factor in the progression of DN and for all-cause mortality.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

According to the International Diabetes Federation's report, over 530 million people worldwide have diabetes . About one-third of diabetic patients develop diabetic nephropathy (DN) after the incubation period, which may last several years.

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the most significant cause of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Albuminuria, evolving from microalbuminuria to nephrotic-range proteinuria, is a clinical hallmark of diabetic nephropathy (DN). It develops in about a third of diabetic patients and is considered an independent risk factor in the progression of DN and for all-cause mortality.

The management of diabetes includes lifestyle modifications, pharmacological interventions, and emerging therapies such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). It involves exposing patients to high levels of oxygen in a pressurized chamber, leading to various physiological effects .

HBOT increases the level of oxygen in tissues by complete saturation of haemoglobin and increasing the partial pressure of oxygen dissolved in plasma. This enables oxygen to diffuse into tissues compromised by acute inflammation and microvascular disease and dysfunction.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group A

About 20 patients suffering from Diabetic kidney disease and will be treated by exposing to early morning air for 60 minutes (Early morning air" refers to the fresh, cool air found during the early hours of the day, (it's around 5-7 am, just before or after sunrise).

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Oxygen Therapy

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

1. To evaluate the effect of oxygen therapy (hyperbaric oxygen and oxygen by non- rebreather mask) and early morning air on proteinuria in patients with diabetic kidney disease.
2. To evaluate the effect of oxygen therapy (hyperbaric oxygen and oxygen by non- rebreather mask) and early morning air on glycated haemoglobin in patients with diabetic kidney disease.
3. Comparing the effects of oxygen therapy (hyperbaric oxygen and oxygen by non- rebreather mask), early morning air exposure, and standard care on kidney function

Group B

About 20 patients suffering from Diabetic kidney disease and will be treated by exposing to oxygen by non- rebreather mask (We choose oxygen by non- rebreather mask and no other ways of oxygen delivery system because it is the only available cost effective and non-invasive oxygen delivery device that can provide high oxygen flow that is close enough to HBOT)

Group C

About 20 patients suffering from Diabetic kidney disease and will be treated by exposing to hyperbaric oxygen therapy in a hyperbaric chamber at 2.5 ATA (atmospheres absolute) for 60 minutes per session (we choose 2.5 ATA hyperbaric oxygen therapy in a hyperbaric chamber (atmospheres absolute) for 60 minutes per session.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria
