Abstract
    Diabetic kidney disease(DKD) is one of the microvascular complications of diabetes and is also a major cause of end-stage renal disease(ESRD). "Metabolic memory" refers to the phenomenon where the high blood glucose state in the early stages of diabetes continues to influence and increase the risk of complications such as DKD,even after blood sugar is controlled later. This review summarizes the mechanisms related to "metabolic memory" in DKD,including cellular senescence,inflammatory responses,and oxidative stress,and discusses the role of epigenetic modifications in this process. In addition,starting from the theory of "Glucotoxicity" in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),this paper proposes the pathogenic concept of "Glucotoxicity damaging the kidney,and the accumulation of minor to significant",and explores the potential role of TCM in improving the "metabolic memory" associated with DKD. It also proposes new strategies for the integration of Chinese and Western medicine in the treatment of DKD. Finally,this paper looks forward to future research directions,including a deeper understanding of the "metabolic memory" mechanism,identifying related targets,and exploring the dynamic laws of disease intervention by TCM,in order to provide a reference direction for subsequent research.
