This volume will focus on and emphasise the clinical relevance of diabetic nephropathy, a relatively common problem of diabetes. It affects about one in three patients with Type 1 diabetes, and left untreated can lead to a progressive decline in renal function, accompanied by retinopathy and arteria

Diabetic nephropathy is a major complication of diabetes and one of the major causes of endstage renal failure. As diabetes and its complications are treated by general practitioners, internists and many specialists, the treatment is often fragmented. In the past few years, several coordinated thera
<p>Diabetic nephropathy is a tragic illness. Its often insidious onset in the insulinΒ dependent (type I) diabetic, typically a young adult, heralds the last act in the course of a disease that will increasingly become the dominant preoccupation in the patient's shortened life.

<p>This book provides a toolkit of novel research approaches for investigators to study diabetic nephropathy, including critical experimental models from the fly to the fish, cells in culture, and in vivo mammalian approaches.

Diabetes, when untreated, leads to damage to several organs within the body, particularly the kidneys. This damage may also go undetected for several years, until the later stages of kidney failure are reached, with a need for kidney replacement therapy - either dialysis or transplantation. Such pro
