The Intelligent Prevention and Control System and Strategy for the Whole Disease Cycle of Diabetic Nephropathy

Diabetic nephropathy is one of the most severe microvascular complications of diabetes and a major cause of premature death and disability. It has become a leading cause of end-stage renal failure both in China and worldwide, consuming substantial medical resources. The establishment of a comprehensive regulatory system for the development and progression of diabetic nephropathy is a critical need for effective prevention and control. However, there is a lack of representative cohorts covering the entire disease cycle of diabetic nephropathy both domestically and internationally, creating technical bottlenecks in comprehensively describing its developmental patterns. This project aims to expand and integrate existing large-sample natural population cohorts and prospective follow-up cohorts covering the entire disease cycle of diabetes and diabetic nephropathy. It will construct a panoramic life database to identify risk factors, clinical phenotypes, and multimodal biomarkers at different disease stages. By integrating multi-organ interactions (e.g., kidney, eye), the project will establish novel imaging and functional assessment technologies for microvascular complications. Utilizing artificial intelligence to process multimodal medical data, it will build and validate risk prediction models and evaluation systems for the entire disease cycle of diabetic nephropathy. The project will develop effective intelligent prevention and treatment strategies for diabetic nephropathy, promote the adoption of new technologies, and establish a medical quality control system to provide services for medical institutions. Ultimately, it aims to improve and sustain medical quality, reducing the incidence of end-stage renal disease.
