Kidney disease (nephropathy) is a possible complication of diabetes. It is also known by other names including Kimmelstiel-Wilson disease; Diabetic glomerulosclerosis; and Diabetic kidney disease. Kidney diseases in a person with diabetes may result into many more complications including hypoglycemia (from decreased excretion of insulin), rapidly progressing chronic kidney failure, end-stage kidney disease, hyperkalemia, severe hypertension, complications of hemodialysis, complications of kidney transplant, coexistence of other diabetes complications, peritonitis (if peritoneal dialysis used), and increased infections.

  • The most common causes of kidney disease are IgA nephropathy, long term use of analgesics, the use of contrast material containing iodine, polycystic kidney disease and chemotherapy. Dialysis can be used as a short-term measure, but the only effective treatment is a kidney transplant.
