Summary:

Renal involvement in diabetes mellitus is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. The continuous increase in the prevalence of diabetes mellitus both in the developed and under-developed nations has magnified the cost of treatment of the complications of this disease. It is thus timely that a group of leading experts in this field have collaborated to produce a state-of-art review of the epidemiology, pathogenesis and treatment of diabetic nephropathy. Management of Diabetic Nephropathy provides background information on diabetes mellitus and nephropathy as well as a description of the genetic basis and factors causing progression of this disease. Furthermore the book reviews the various therapeutic options at all stages of renal disease from mild to end-stage renal disease, as well as updating management of complications and comorbid conditions. Physicians and scientists interested in the study and treatment of kidney disease in diabetes should find it a comprehensive update on the subject. Management of Diabetic Nephropathy will provide important information for general practitioners, internal medicine physicians, endocrinologists and diabetologists, specialists in hypertension and nephrologists, thereby stimulating improved care of the patient and further research in the field.
