Nephropathy or kidney damage is another complication arising from diabetes. Checking for protein in the urine helps in early detection of renal disease (note, however, that protein in the urine is not always due to kidney damage but can also be due to some other stressor, such as infection or intense exercise). FDA and the European Medicines Agency (EMEA) will allow drug companies to submit a single application to each agency with the results of seven new tests that evaluate kidney damage during animal studies of new drugs. |
