Summary

This research study follows 500 adolescents with type 2 diabetes to understand why some develop kidney problems. Researchers are looking at biological factors like blood sugar and blood pressure, as well as psychological and social factors such as stress, mental health, and poverty. The goal is to find the main causes of kidney damage in these teens and identify ways to prevent it.
