Not all patients with diabetes go on to develop diabetic nephropathy. The main risk factors that increase the likelihood of developing diabetic nephropathy are:<br />
* Poor control of blood glucose<br />
* Uncontrolled [[Hypertension|high blood pressure]]<br />
* [[Type 1 diabetes mellitus]], with onset before age 20<br />
* Past or current [[Tobacco smoking|cigarette use]]<br />
* A family history of diabetic nephropathy- certain genes have been identified that are associated with DN. ( However, no direct correlation has been established yet. One of these genes is APOL1, which has been found to be associated with nephropathy in African American individuals.)<br />
* Certain racial groups (African Americans, Mexican Americans, and Pima Indians are at higher risk).</div>FuzzyBot
