Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is the most common chronic disorder of carbohydrate metabolism, which leads to progressive atherosclerosis and failure of multiple internal organs, which in turn results in an early and severe disability. Diabetic nephropathy is one of the main microvascular complications of this disease. The article explores the usefulness of abdominal Doppler ultrasonography to validate the early changes of renal hemodynamics in patients with diabetes mellitus.
