However, it is clear that at least 50% of the new cases of ESRD are not secondary to diabetes. While the success of renal replacement in patients with ESRD, using either a variety of dialytic approaches or kidney transplantation, is clearly one of the major advances in modern medicine, the ultimate goal must be to prevent the progression to ESRD. In recent years, results from randomized clinical trials have demonstrated ...References1. Lewis EJ, Hunsicker LG, Bain RP, Rohde RD.
