Cases of kidney failure due to diabetes rising.
(From Philippine Daily Inquirer)
Byline: Charles E. Buban
MEDICAL experts recently warned that there was a "substantial and steady" increase in the incidence of kidney failure due to diabetes mellitus, a disease that afflicts more than 2.7 million Filipinos today.
Reports from the Philippine Society of Nephrology, the Diabetes Center of the Philippines and the National Kidney and Transplant Institute said the number of Filipinos with the most advanced form of kidney disease has risen to 31 percent in 2003 from 26 percent in 2001.
"Unless we succeed in mobilizing more people to help prevent it, our resources will be sorely depleted in combating the disease," warned Dr. Augusto Litonjua, president of Diabetes Center of the Philippines.
