Diabetes and Kidney Disease

Diabetes affects over 23 million people in the United States. 30-40% of people with diabetes will develop chronic kidney disease. In fact, diabetes is the number one cause of kidney disease in the world. However, even people who have diabetes but aren't diagnosed with kidney disease may still have diabetic changes occurring in their kidneys.

Studies have shown that even with the first few years of diagnosis, approximately 50% of diabetic patients will experience increased pressures in the kidney which may lead to scarring and early loss of kidney function1,2. In addition, people with diabetes have some of the same complications as people with CKD, including vitamin D deficiency. ProRenal QD® with Omega 3 are specially designed to support nutrition in these patients.
