Among all nephropathies, diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the most common cause of kidney impairment advancement to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Although DKD has no cure, the disease is commonly managed by strict control of blood glucose and blood pressure, and in most of these cases, kidney function often deteriorates, resulting in dialysis, kidney replacement therapy, and high mortality. The difficulties in finding a cure for DKD are mainly due to a poor understanding of the underpinning complex cellular mechanisms that could be identified as druggable targets for the treatment of this disease. The review is thus aimed at giving insight into the interconnection between chronic hyperglycaemia and cellular mechanistic perturbations of nephropathy in diabetes. A comprehensive literature review of observational studies on DKD published within the past ten years, with 57 percent published within the past three years was carried out. The article search focused on original research studies and reviews published in English. The articles were explored using Google Scholar, Medline, Web of Science, and PubMed databases based on keywords, titles, and abstracts related to the topic. This article provides a detailed relationship between hyperglycaemia, oxidative stress, and various cellular mechanisms that underlie the onset and progression of the disease. Moreover, it also shows how these mechanisms affect organelle dysfunction, resulting in fibrosis and podocyte impairment. The advances in understanding the complexity of DKD mechanisms discussed in this review will expedite opportunities to develop new interventions for treating the disease.
