disease:
Diabetic kidney disease (diabetic nephropathy) is a chronic, progressive disease that develops in one third of all people with diabetes. High glucose levels in the blood damages the small vessels in the kidneys, affecting the kidney's ability to filter wastes from the body. This damage can progress to kidney failure, also called end-stage renal disease (ESRD). At that time, the kidneys almost completely stop cleaning wastes out of the blood. Unless the disease is treated by dialysis or kidney transplantation, wastes build up in the blood to poisonous levels and can lead to illness and death.
