Prevalence and progression of diabetic nephropathy in South Asians, White Europeans and Afro ‐Caribbeans with Type 2 diabetes; a systematic review and meta‐analysis

ConclusionThis review did not find a significant link between ethnicity (South Asians, White Europeans and Afro ‐Caribbeans) and the prevalence of microalbuminuria. However, the incident rate ratio of end stage renal disease in African Caribbeans compared to White Europeans was significantly higher. Further research is needed to explore the potential non‐albuminuric pathways of progression to end stage re nal failure.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
