Diabetic nephropathy, or diabetic kidney disease, is kidney damage caused by years of high blood sugar, and diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure in the United States. It usually causes no symptoms until it is advanced, so it is found through urine tests for protein and blood tests of kidney function. In recent years several medicines have been shown to slow it, including drugs first developed for diabetes and heart disease. Trials are testing new ways to protect the kidneys before damage becomes permanent.
