Diabetic nephropathy is a serious kidney-related complication of diabetes, and is also called diabetic kidney disease. Almost 40 % of people with diabetes ultimately develop kidney disease. Diabetic nephropathy interferes with the ability of kidneys to do their usual work of removing waste products and extra fluids from the body.

It is found that an early diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy can help in stopping diabetic kidney disease and the associated damage. However, if the disease persists for a long time, its reversal is not possible. Diabetic kidney disease or diabetic nephropathy happens when the blood vessels and other cells present in the kidneys get damaged due to diabetes.
Diabetic nephropathy is one of the common complications of diabetes. Management of diabetes can help in preventing diabetic nephropathy (DN) and avoid other complications.

The term sinusitis often describes the inflammation of the sinuses. Sometimes the linings of the ducts or tubes that connect the sinuses to the back of the nose become inflamed and therefore fail to drain the fluid.

It has been found that almost 15% of Cushing’s syndrome cases are due to ectopic Cushing’s syndrome.
