Steven Edelman, MD and kidney specialist David Ward, MD discuss prevention, diagnosis and treatments of diabetic kidney disease including stories of dialysis and transplant. Series: Taking Control of Your Diabetes [7/2008] [Health and Medicine] [Show ID: 14889]
@Allibaby78 Features of Kimmelstiel-Wilson disease include the nephrotic syndrome with excessive filtration of protein into the urine (proteinuria), high blood pressure (hypertension), and progressively impaired kidney function. When severe, Kimmelstiel-Wilson disease leads to kidney failure, end-stage renal disease, and the need for chronic kidney dialysis or a kidney transplant.

Diabetic nephropathy = Kimmelstiel-Wilson disease is a kidney condition associated with long-standing diabetes. It affects the network of tiny blood vessels (the microvasculature) in the glomerulus, a key structure in the kidney that is composed of capillary blood vessels and which is critically necessary for the filtration of the blood.

Excellent! I'm a nursing student and I learned a lot more from your clip than from the school lectures. Thank you.

This has been very informative to say the least, I just started dialysis and still have a host of questions yet to be answered. I would love to talk with others that have similar problems that I have, finding them is the key to that.
