Nephropathy in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus
In the not-so-distant past, type 2 diabetes mellitus was thought to be a relatively benign condition, at least in the elderly, with relatively little effect on life expectancy or renal function. It has now become obvious that type 2 diabetes must be taken every bit as seriously as type 1 diabetes, i...
