Welcome to the first edition of ‘Diabetic kidney disease-pathogenesis, histology, diagnosis and clinical features’. The purpose of this book is to elucidate about diabetic kidney disease. The intended audience includes medical students, medical residents, nephrology fellows, general practitioner and anyone who is interested in diabetic kidney disease.

I would like to thank my family, as well as my colleagues in Sheri Kashmir institute of medical sciences Soura, for their patience during the time i started this project, as it took time away from them. I hope the readers will savour our excitement in this book.
