A campaign to raise awareness of microalbuminuria screening.
Both patients with diabetes and health-care professionals need to be aware that diabetes can cause kidney nephropathy. A simple urine test can detect problems with renal function at a very early stage. The DEMAND campaign has involved diabetes clinic nurses in a study to persuade them to perform this test routinely and to encourage patients to request it.
