Abstract
Objectives: The purpose of this systematic review is to investigate the risk factors and association of the incidence of diabetic kidney disease in adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients. Methods: We conducted a thorough search of PubMed, SCOPUS, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Science Direct to find pertinent literature. Rayyan QRCI was utilized during the entire process. Results: We included eight studies with a total of 11,468 T2D patients and 4966 (43.3%) were females. The available literature on the association between T1D and CKD among adolescents lacks epidemiological data on the prevalence and sex differences. Higher eGFR, diabetes duration, low C-peptide levels, glycemic control, age at a clinic visit, advanced glycation end products, and BMI were reported as significant risk factors for developing renal impairment in adolescents with T1D. Conclusion: The results of this research point to the necessity of a standardized screening procedure for the early identification and appropriate treatment of DKD. In order to provide an accurate assessment of this illness, methodological approaches should be taken into account. Furthermore, it's imperative to educate teenagers with T1D about the possibility of DKD, which can result in renal failure and even death. Future improvements in the quality of life for teenagers with T1D are anticipated as a result of this awareness.
