Diabetes mellitus and organ involvement or associated diseases are a medical problem worldwide with an ever increasing incidence and prevalence, not only in western countries. Diabetes mellitus must be taken seriously particularly because the incidence in children and young adults is increasing in a threatening way. It is estimated that in the USA by 2025 every third individual born in 2000 will suffer from diabetes, which in the long term will drastically reduce the life expectation of the population. In addition to cardiovascular diseases, such as high blood pressure, coronary heart disease and stroke, the renal involvement in diabetes mellitus, the so-called diabetic nephropathy (DN) in particular represents an increasing and serious problem. In Germany DN now represents with approximately 35% the leading single course by far of end-stage renal disease. This article deals with the pathogenesis and morphology of DN with a special emphasis on new treatment principles.
