End-Stage Renal Disease- Incidence among Persons with Diabetes

End-stage renal disease is a major cause of hospitalization, disability, morbidity, and mortality for persons with diabetes.

• Incidence refers to the number of newly diagnosed or detected cases of a disease during a specific time interval, such as one year.

• In 2003, individuals with diabetes were nine times more like to be diagnosed with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) than those without diabetes- with diabetes 1.63/1,000, without diabetes .18/1,000.

• In 2003, black females had a significantly higher incidence rate of ESRD at 3.45/1,000 than other females at 2.36/1,000 and white females at .92/1,000.

• In 2003, black males had a significantly higher incidence rate of ESRD at 3.67/1,000 than other males at 1.96/1,000 and white males at 1.00/1,000.

• Black males with diabetes are more likely than females with diabetes of any race or ethnicity to be newly diagnosed with ESRD.
• When considering all newly diagnosed cases of ESRD, other females have the greatest relative risk (likelihood) of being diagnosed with ESRD, followed by other males.


• In 2005, there were 1,171 new cases of diabetes-related ESRD, accounting for 44 percent of all new cases. Hypertension was the second highest cause of ESRD.
