Abstract: Objective  To investigate the clinical characteristics and risk factors in type 2 diabetic nephropathy. Methods  A total of 3 251 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients were chosen to carry on a retrospective casecontrol study.According to nephropathy or not,the patients were divided into DN group and nonDN group,general information and laboratory examination were compared between. The related risk factors of type 2 diabetic nephropathy were analyzed by logistic regression.Results  Disease course,body mass index(BMI),systolic blood pressure(SBP),diasstolic blood pressure(DBP),total cholesterol(TC), triglyceride(TG),low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDLC),creatinine(Cr),serum uric acid(SUA),fasting blood glucose(FPG),hemoglobin A1c(HbA1c), fibrinogen  in DN group were significantly higher than those of nonDN group (P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that disease course two groups, smoking, BMI,SBP, SUA, HbAlc and TG were risk factors of type 2 diabetic nephropathy.Conclusion  The risk factors of type 2 diabetic nephropathy are disease  course, smoking, BMI,SBP, SUA, HbAlc and TG, early screening for highrisk factors are recommended to reduce the occurrence of type 2 diabetic nephropathy.
