Abstract
Diabetes-related end-stage renal disease (ESRD-DM) is a major source of morbidity and medical costs. The authors studied patterns of ESRD-DM in Missouri during the period 1985-1992. The incidence of ESRD-DM increased during this period, with the largest increase in older age groups. ESRD-DM is substantially more common among blacks than among whites. Enhanced efforts are needed to improve detection and control of diabetes and its complications, especially in high-risk populations.
