All diabetics of a closed population were examined in respect to their renal function by means of their level of serum creatinine. 1,380 out of 1,490 diabetics (type I and type II) have their diabetes less than 15 years. The serum creatinine values are increased in 24.9% of these diabetics. The frequency of chronic renal insufficiency rose steply after a diabetes period of 15 and more years. A classification of the diabetics in groups with equal diabetes period showed that renal insufficient diabetics are significant older than those with normal renal function. The results of the investigation emphasize the demand to enclose the nephropathy in the diagnostic scale of diabetics with short disease period, too, to become therapeutic effectively very early.
通过血清肌酐水平对某一封闭人群中的所有糖尿病患者进行了肾功能检查。在1490名糖尿病患者（I型和II型）中，有1380人的糖尿病病程不足15年。这些糖尿病患者中24.9%的血清肌酐值升高。糖尿病病程达15年及以上后，慢性肾功能不全的发生率呈逐步上升趋势。将糖尿病患者按相同病程分组后发现，肾功能不全的糖尿病患者比肾功能正常的患者年龄大得多。调查结果强调，在糖尿病病程较短的患者诊断标准中也应纳入肾病检查，以便能尽早进行有效治疗。
