Number of new cases of ESRD in the white US population attributed to diabetes between 1990–2006 according to age of onset of ESRD. In these patients, T1DM is the predominant diabetes and the almost exclusive type in those with sufficient diabetes duration to develop diabetes-associated ESRD.
The data were obtained from the US Renal Data System (http://www.usrds.org/). Figure adapted from Rosolowsky et al. JASN 2012.4
Using data presented in Table 1, one may interpret that patients with ESRD onset between aged 20–39 years were enriched for fast decliners and those 40–49 years for moderate and slow decliners.
