About this trial
Based on previous basic experiments revealing that patients with type 2 diabetic nephropathy exhibit higher blood lead levels than the general population, this study aims to systematically evaluate the impacts of short-term and long-term blood lead exposure on renal function progression in such patients, so as to provide novel epidemiological evidence for clinical intervention.

Disqualifiers
1. Combined hypertension; 2. Combined hyperlipidemia; 3. History of autoimmune diseases; 4. Personal history of malignant tumors; 5. Reversible renal insufficiency (malignant hypertension, urinary tract infection, recent use of nephrotoxic drugs); 6. Past occupational lead exposure history; 7. Drug allergy to calcium disodium edetate; 8. Unable to complete follow-up or provide informed consent.
