Abstract

Registries listing the demographics of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in the United States (US), Japan, and most nations in industrialized Europe show that diabetes mellitus, in 1998, is the leading cause of renal failure world-wide. More than a decade ago, Mauer and Chavers presciently predicted that “Diabetes is the most important cause of ESRD in the Western World [1]”. Furthermore, in every European and North American registry of renal failure patients, both the incidence and prevalence of diabetic patients has risen continuously over the past ten years. According to the most recent (1997) report of the United States Renal Data System (USRDS), of 257,266 US patients undergoing either dialytic therapy or a kidney transplant in 1995, 80,667 had diabetes [2], a prevalence rate of 31.4%. Moreover, of 71,875 new (incident) cases of ESRD in 1995, 28,740 (40%) had diabetes (figure 50–1).
