Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy is a serious and costly microvascular complication of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. It has been a subject of study for over two centuries. Richard Bright (1789–1858) is often credited for the observation that albuminuria reflects serious diabetic renal involvement (1,2). Elliott P. Joslin (1869–1962), one of the first diabetologists stated, “the renal complications of diabetes have been unimportant in the past, but with the prolongation of life which modern treatment is bringing about they will deserve attention” (3). This statement, made 5 yr before the introduction of insulin in 1917 has, unfortunately, been proven correct because more than onethird of patients entering maintenance dialysis today suffer from diabetic nephropathy.
