It highlights other significant contributions outside of the RAAS in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy including epithelial-mesenchymal-transition (EMT), immune cytokines and AGE/RAGE and also presents latest information on several pathophysiological determinants in the development of diabetic nephropathy. Lastly, recent information on numerous distinct pharmacological interventions of diabetic nephropathy is also included.
