Diabetic kidney disease(DKD) is the most common complication of diabetes prevalence rate increased year by year, kidney as one of the body organs consumption, need to provide enough mitochondria ATP to maintain the normal physiological function, sustained high blood sugar levels induced by activating multiple pathways mitochondria damage, cause the energy imbalance, ATP production, to its negative effects, in recent years, Mitochondrial dysfunction has been concerned in the occurrence and development of kidney diseases, and is considered to be a key factor involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic kidney disease. In this paper, the role of mitochondrial structure and dysfunction in the progression of DKD is described, providing a theoretical basis for controlling the progression of DKD.
