Diabetes and Kidney Disease

Diabetes is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease and kidney failure in the United States. In fact, diabetes accounts for nearly 44 percent of new cases of kidney disease.

High blood pressure and a family history of hypertension also increase chances of developing kidney disease especially among diabetics.


Even when diabetes is controlled, the disease can lead to Chronic Kidney Disease and kidney failure.
