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.

In addition, people with diabetes have some of the same complications as people with CKD, including higher rates of heart disease and vitamin D deficiency.
