DIABETIC NEPHROPATHY
OVERVIEW
Diabetes is an insidious disease process which slowly touches all parts of the patients life. One of the major areas is that of the kidneys. Diabetic nephropathy is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease in the United States (Batuman, 2014). Other terms related to this medical problem are diabetic glomerulosclerosis, intercapillary glomerulonephritis, and Kimmelstiel-Wilson disease (Wisse, 2013).
