Diabetic nephropathy affects around 25% of dialysis patients and eventually affects approximately one-third of those with insulin-dependent diabetes and 5% to 10% of those with non-insulin-dependent diabetes. Certain characteristics may help predict who may get end-stage renal disease. When compared to whites, blacks had a 1.62 times larger risk of getting end-stage renal disease for insulin-dependent diabetes and a 3.93 times greater risk for non-insulin-dependent diabetes, which may be due to higher blood pressure in blacks. A diabetic sibling's history of nephropathy puts a person with insulin-dependent diabetes at a significantly higher chance of acquiring nephropathy.
