Approximately 20%–30% of patients with diabetes progress to evident nephropathy. Kidney cell deaths, for example, ferroptosis, pyroptosis, and apoptosis, are associated with diabetic nephropathy (DN). Ferroptosis is a novel regulated cell death characterized by the increase of oxidative stress and iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. Laboratory or clinical findings indicate that ferroptosis plays an important role in the pathogenesis of DN. This review aimed to summarize the mechanisms of ferroptosis and relevant signaling pathways in DN and provide perspectives and clinical strategies for attenuating ferroptosis-associated DN. %0 Journal Article %I Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications %@ 2394-2916
