Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a severe microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus. It is the leading inducement of end‐stage renal disease (ESRD), and its global incidence has been increasing at an alarming rate. The strict control of blood pressure and blood glucose can delay the progression of DKD, but intensive treatment is challenging to maintain. Studies to date have failed to find a complete cure. The glomerulus's alterations and injuries play a pivotal role in the initiation and development of DKD. A wealth of data indicates that the interdependent relationship between resident cells in the glomerulus will provide clues to the mechanism of DKD and new ways for therapeutic intervention. This review summarizes the significant findings of glomerular cell cross talk in DKD, focusing on cellular signaling pathways, regulators, and potential novel avenues for treating progressive DKD.
