About this study

Diabetes is a prevalent worldwide challenge affecting 425 million individuals, with the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) projecting a rise to 630 million by 2045. Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a critical complication that impacts one-third of diabetic patients and significantly contributes to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, leading to substantial socioeconomic burdens (Dwivedi and Sikarwar, 2024).

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a multifaceted condition involving various interconnected mechanisms, primarily influenced by hyperglycemia .

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the most feared diabetic chronic microvascular complications and the major cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

Therefore, early recognition is crucial. Presently, this relies on the albumin excretion rate (AER) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR).

Irisin, an exercise - induced myokine, has been linked to metabolic disorders, but its relationship with DN remains unclear.

Experimental studies have demonstrated the role of irisin in protecting mice against diabetes and obesity
