Abstract
In individuals with diabetes, chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major comorbidity. However, it appears that there is worldwide confusion regarding which term should be used to describe CKD complicated with diabetes: diabetic nephropathy, diabetic kidney disease (DKD), CKD with diabetes, diabetes and CKD, etc. Similar confusion has also been reported in Japan. Therefore, to provide clarification, the Japanese Diabetes Society and the Japanese Society of Nephrology collaborated to update the corresponding Japanese term to describe DKD and clearly define the concept of DKD. In this review, we briefly described the history of kidney complications in individuals with diabetes and the Japanese definition of the DKD concept and provided our rationale for these changes.
期刊介绍:
Clinical and Experimental Nephrology is a peer-reviewed monthly journal, officially published by the Japanese Society of Nephrology (JSN) to provide an international forum for the discussion of research and issues relating to the study of nephrology. Out of respect for the founders of the JSN, the title of this journal uses the term “nephrology,” a word created and brought into use with the establishment of the JSN (Japanese Journal of Nephrology, Vol. 2, No. 1, 1960). The journal publishes articles on all aspects of nephrology, including basic, experimental, and clinical research, so as to share the latest research findings and ideas not only with members of the JSN, but with all researchers who wish to contribute to a better understanding of recent advances in nephrology. The journal is unique in that it introduces to an international readership original reports from Japan and also the clinical standards discussed and agreed by JSN.
