To determine the changes in serum bone metabolism indexes and ultrasonic bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with diabetic nephropathy at different stages, and their effects on diabetic renal microvascular complications. ⋯ Bone metabolism indexes and ultrasound bone mineral density are abnormally expressed in patients with diabetic nephropathy at different stages, which are closely related to the urine protein of patients. They have important clinical value in the diagnosis of early diabetic nephropathy.
