Why Is This Important?
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and ESRD result in poor quality of life and premature death. ESRD is very costly to treat, such that nearly 25% of the Medicare budget is used to treat people with CKD and ESRD. Diabetes is the most common cause of kidney failure.[https://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/topics-objectives/topic/chronic-kidney-disease ^1^]
