Conventional and novel DKD therapeutic targets and strategies. The therapeutic strategy of DKD includes hemodynamic and nonhemodynamic aspects. The improvement of hemodynamic changes, the glucose-lowering therapy, and the suppression of inflammation, oxidative stress, fibrosis and podocyte injury are the main therapeutic targets. ACE2, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2; ACEIs, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors; AGE, advanced glycation end-product; AMPK, adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase; ARBs, angiotensin receptor blockers; DPP-4, dipeptidyl peptidase-4; GLP-1, glucagon-like peptide-1; MRAs, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists; NF-κB, nuclear factor-kappa B; SGLT2, sodium glucose cotransporter 2.
