BBC News (1/25) reports, "Keeping your kidneys healthy could be one of the best ways to extend your life if you have diabetes," according to a study published in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology. Researchers "found that having kidney disease meant a much higher risk of early death."
Medscape (1/25, Nainggolan) reports that investigators "examined 10-year mortality by diabetes and kidney-disease status for 15046 participants in the third US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III) by linking baseline data with the National Death Index."
HealthDay (1/25, Gordon) reports, "The study found that 10-year mortality rates for people with both type 2 diabetes and kidney disease is more than 31 percent." However, "for people with only type 2 diabetes, the death rate after a decade was 12 percent." Meanwhile, "for those with neither condition, the 10-year death rate was about 8 percent."
According to EverydayHealth (1/25, Hauser), "This is the first study to determine the strength of the link between kidney disease and mortality among people with type 2 diabetes, though diabetes has long been associated with an overall increased mortality risk, particularly due to cardiovascular disease."
