The first sporadic observations describing renal abnormalities in
diabetes were published late in the 19th century, but systematic
studies of the kidney in diabetes started only half a century ago
after the paper by Cambier in 1934 and the much more famous study
by Kimmelstiel and Wilson in 1936. These authors described two
distinct features of renal involvement in diabetes: early
hyperfiltration and late nephropathy. Diabetic nephropathy is,
despite half a century of studies, still a very pertinent problem,
renal disease in diabetes now being a very common cause of
end-stage renal failure in Europe and North America and probably
throughout the world. It is a very important part of the
generalized vascular disease found in long-term diabetes as
described by Knud Lundbaek in his mono graph Long-term Diabetes in
1953, published by Munks gaard, Copenhagen. Surprisingly, there has
not been a comprehensive volume describing all aspects of renal
involvement in diabetes, and the time is now ripe for such a volume
summarizing the very considerable research activity within this
field during the last decade and especially during the last few
years. This book attempts to cover practically all aspects of renal
involvement in diabetes. It is written by colleagues who are
themselves active in the many fields of medical research covered in
this volume: epidemiology, physiology and pathophysiology,
laboratory methodology, and renal pathology. New studies deal with
the dia gnosis and treatment of both incipient and overt
nephropathy by metabolie, antihypertensive, and dietary invention."
