 FG-3019 for Diabetic Nephropathy
Diabetic nephropathy is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), which requires dialysis or transplant.
During the initial stages of diabetic nephropathy, hyperglycemia and hypertension damage the main structures of the kidney causing hyperfiltration, hypertrophy (increased kidney weight) and microalbuminuria, or the presence of low but abnormal levels of proteins (mainly albumin) in the urine.
FibroGen expects the therapeutic benefit of anti-CTGF therapy in diabetic nephropathy would be to extend life and the time to dialysis by reducing early-stage pathologies related to hyperglycemia and hypertension, including hyperfiltration and kidney hypertrophy, and by preventing the development of proteinuria and chronic fibrosis.

 Diabetic Nephropathy - nephrologychannel
Diabetic nephropathy is kidney disease that develops as a result of diabetes mellitus (DM).
Diabetes mellitus is a disorder in which the body is unable to metabolize carbohydrates (e.g., food starches, sugars, cellulose) properly.
Non-insulin-dependent diabetes, or DM 2, differs from DM 1 in that the main problem is a peripheral resistance to the action of the insulin.

 Diabetic Nephropathy
Diabetic nephropathy is a serious complication of diabetes in which elevated blood sugar levels eventually damage the kidneys.
The risk for developing diabetic nephropathy is also higher in patients who have a genetic predisposition toward kidney disease, and in those who have had diabetes for a long period of time.
Because diabetic nephropathy occurs before any symptoms are felt, it is extremely important that people with diabetes have regular tests of their kidney function.

Sulodexide is a glycosaminoglycan, a new class of drug that has demonstrated nephroprotective activity, and is promising in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy.
He added that the delayed onset of effect, in conjunction with experimental data in animals, suggested sulodexide probably interferes with the glomerular structure of the diabetic kidney, and possibly the remodeling of diabetic nephropathy.
"As you know the major cause of mortality in patients with diabetic nephropathy is stroke and MI; perhaps now we have a unique chance to treat, with only one drug, both the cardiovascular and renal complications of diabetic angiopathy," he said.
