In the early stages of DKD, increased hyper-reabsorption and gluconeogenesis expose proximal tubular cells to hypoxia, resulting in mitochondrial dysfunction, increased oxidative stress and tubular injury ( Mitochondria is the primary organelle of in PTECs that is modulated to oxidative stress and hypoxic injury in the diabetic state ( Although there are a large number of in vitro and in vivo studies investigating the mechanism of hypoxia-induced renal tubular damage, due to the lack of non-invasive means, there are few clinical studies that have evaluated renal hypoxia in detail
