Diabetic nephropathy typically progresses through four main stages:
1. Hyperfiltration Stage: Characterized by an increased glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
2. Microalbuminuria Stage: Persistent low levels of albumin in the urine.
3. Macroalbuminuria Stage (Overt Proteinuria): Significantly increased levels of albumin (protein) in the urine.
4. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Stage: Progressive decline in kidney function, potentially leading to end-stage renal disease.
