Pathological Characteristics of Ferroptosis in Kidney Tissues in Type 2 Diabetic Patients with Diabetic Kidney Disease

Diabetes kidney disease (DKD) is a common complication of diabetes and is currently considered the primary cause of end-stage renal disease. Ferroptosis has been found to participate in the development of DKD. However, no ferroptosis-related markers have been evaluated in human DKD samples. This study aimed to examine the ferroptosis-related pathological alterations in DKD samples.
