Diabetic kidney disease versus non-diabetic kidney disease in type 2 diabetic patients on dialysis: An observational cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Background

All chronic kidney diseases in diabetic patients are not diabetic kidney diseases. The objective was to compare the clinical characteristics, survival and access to transplantation in diabetic patients starting dialysis and classified either as diabetic kidney disease (DKD) or non-diabetic kidney disease in diabetic patients (NDKD).
