Proteinuric Diabetic Kidney Disease More Likely in Minorities

Kidney damage from diabetes is called diabetic nephropathy. If the damage continues, your kidneys could fail. Failing kidneys lose their ability to filter out waste products, resulting in kidney disease. In fact, diabetes is the most common cause of kidney failure in the United States. Other complications may be arteriosclerosis of the renal artery and protein in the urine.

Racial and ethnic minorities are more likely than non-Hispanic whites to have proteinuric diabetic kidney disease (DKD), according to new findings published online in Diabetes Care.

In a study of 15,683 individuals by Vivek Ghalla, MD, of Stanford University School of Medicine in Stanford, Calif., and colleagues, Hispanic men and women had a significant 34% and 46% increased odds of proteinuric DKD, respectively, compared with non-Hispanic whites, in adjusted analyses. Chinese men and women had a 56% and 39% increased odds of DKD, and Filipino men and women had an 85% and 57% increased odds. Non-Hispanic black women had a significant 50% increased odds.
