Diabetic nephropathy is a major complication of diabetes and is today one of the major causes of end-stage renal failure in many developed and undeveloped nations. Moreover diabetic nephropathy is associated with many of the other macro- and microvascular complications of diabetes. As diabetes and its complications are treated by general practitioners, family physicians and internists, as well as many specialist physicians, the treatment is often fragmented and not coordinated. Coordination of treatment is especially important in those diabetic patients with renal involvement. The past few years have seen the emergence of several therapeutic regimens, which may prevent the development of diabetic nephropathy and slow the progression of this disorder. Management of Diabetic Nephropathy contains a description of the development of diabetes mellitus. Many senior investigators have contributed to this book.
