Specific Etiologies
The outcome from any specific form of renal injury and the progression to endstage renal disease have been reviewed in Chapter 32. The most common etiologies of renal disease in patients being considered for dialysis and transplantation are chronic glomerulonephritis, hypertensive nephrosclerosis, chronic interstitial nephritis, polycystic kidney disease, and diabetes mellitus. The inclusion of diabetes mellitus in such a list reflects recent improvement in the care and management of this patient population such that greater numbers survive the intercurrent devastations of this illness to manifest ESRD.
