Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is the most common cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) across racial and ethnic groups in the United States (US) and other developed countries. According to most recent USRDS reports, diabetic nephropathy (DMN) represents 44% of new cases of ESRD in the United States and accounts for far higher rates in black, Native American and Hispanic populations than it does in whites. The incidence of diabetic nephropathy (DMN) continues to rise far more rapidly than rates due to any other primary diagnosis of ESRD as a result of the increasing prevalence of DM, predominantly those with type 2 diabetes (T2DM)[1]. A total of 131,173 patients with DMN were requiring renal replacement therapy: 77% of these were on hemodialysis, 6.2% are on peritoneal dialysis and 16.1% are transplant recipients according to the 2002 data report.ESRD is associated with high mortality rates, and among these, those with DMN have the highest rates. Adjusted relative risk of death in diabetic dialysis patients compared to their non-diabetic counterparts was 1.69 in a large cohort study [2]. The high mortality rates in the predialysis period in these patients may underestimate the poor progression that the diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy imparts [3].
