  "Kidney disease starts when the blood vessels in the kidney become leaky. These leaky vessels allow protein from the blood to be excreted with urine. (It's this protein that doctors detect when they test for kidney function.) Eventually, some vessels collapse and place more pressure on those that remain. Under this increased load, the remaining blood vessels are also damaged and the kidney may fail. If the disease progresses to this point, a person may have to go on dialysis - where a machine performs the role of the kidney - or receive a kidney transplant."[http://www.genetichealth.com/dbts_consequences_of_diabetes.shtml#Anchor2]
