糖尿病肾病诊断名称的变迁

Development of diagnosis nomenclature in kidney disease related to diabetes

糖尿病肾病是常见的继发性肾脏病之一,随着病情的进展可以导致慢性肾功能衰竭甚至尿毒症。几十年来糖尿病肾病的诊断名称几经更新,从Kimmelstiel-Wilson综合征到糖尿病肾病,再到较近的糖尿病肾脏疾病,虽然涵盖的意义有所重叠,但对于疾病的描述和定义更加精准、完善,也更适用于临床实践。诊断名称的变化也是对疾病本身的探索过程,本文就糖尿病肾病诊断名称的变迁做一综述。

Diabetic nephropathy is one of the common secondary kidney diseases, which can lead to chronic renal failure and even uremia. The diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy has been updated several times over the decades, ranging from Kimmelstiel-Wilson syndrome to diabetic nephropathy to more recent diabetic kidney disease. Although the significance of coverage has been crossed, the description and definition of the disease is more accurate and perfect, and more suitable for clinical practice. The change of diagnosis nomenclature is also an exploration to the disease itself. This article reviews the development of diagnosis nomenclature in kidney disease related to diabetes.
