| | Diabetic nephropathy is a sign of worsening blood vessel disease throughout the body, and is associated with an increased risk of heart attack, stroke and circulatory problems. | | | There are many factors, some known and others not, that affect the individual risk of developing diabetic nephropathy. | | | Although the role of lipid-lowering is unclear in the course of diabetic nephropathy, it helps to prevent heart disease and possibly strokes. |
