Abstract

End stage renal disease is an increasingly common problem among both type 2 and type 1 diabetic patients. It is possible to halt or delay the progression from microalbuminuria to proteinuria to end stage renal disease through early screening and aggressive control of blood pressure, blood glucose, and the appropriate use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors.
