The disease will be manifested earlier: scientists were able to easily detect dangerous hyperfiltration of the kidneys

This innovation has been the answer to the problems of diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy in the elderly, in which the age -old decrease in the rate of glomerular filtration (GFR) hides the early signs of organ disease, Osaka metropolitan university writes. In focus, technology appeared its Telegram channel. Subscribe to not miss the most info and interesting news from the world of science! The team under the direction of Dr.

Akihiro Tsud analyzed the data of 180 candidates for donor for kidney transplantation. Their results showed that the traditional approach, which is to adjust the GFR measurements, taking into account the surface area of ​​the body, does not work in patients with obesity, masking signs of hyperfiltration. Instead, they proposed a formula that directly takes into account age -related GFR changes, offering a more accurate diagnostic tool. Dr.

Tsud emphasized the potential of a new method for early detection and treatment of diabetic nephropathy, saying: "We hope that the use of this new formula will allow you to more accurately diagnose a disease that will lead to early detection and treatment of more people. " In diabetic nephropathy, early detection of albuminuria, characterized by excess albumin in the urine, is crucial because it is often preceded by GFR reduction.

The study published in Hypertension Research shows the need to improve traditional diagnostic methods, especially in populations with natural GFR, such as the elderly. The importance of this study is associated with the growing prevalence of diabetes around the world. As early as 2021, about 537 million adults aged 20-79 have suffered from diabetes, and, according to scientists, by 2030 this number will increase to 643 million.

Kidney disease is one of the main complications of diabetes, so improving diagnostic methods is vital for public health. The new formula developed by Dr. Cuda team can improve patients due to earlier detection of disease development and timely intervention. Earlier, Focus wrote that humanity would be covered by a wave of diabetes by 2050.

From millions to billions: a new study reveals the gloomy prospects for the development of diabetes around the world by 2050, if health care systems do not take effect on ahead. Focus also wrote that diabetes affects the destruction of the brain. Recent studies have shown that in patients with first type diabetes, early brain aging occurs. Importantly!
