Abstract

Not so long ago, terminal renal failure used to be a death sentence for the diabetic patient. In 1972, in a famous paper entitled “;The Sad Truth About Hemodialysis in Diabetic Nephropathy,”; Ghavamian arrived at the conclusion that “dialysis for such patients — carries little likelihood of long-term survival or improvement in quality of life” (1). Although survival of uremic diabetic patients has improved dramatically in recent years, such historical experience underlines the particular susceptibility of the diabetic patient to cardiovascular (CV) complications and infectious episodes.
