Diabetics should control blood sugar and blood pressure closely and should refrain from smoking. Hyperglycemia should be treated; the goal is an A1C concentration below 7 percent. In patients with dyslipidemia, statin therapy is appropriate to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Anemia should be treated, with a target hemoglobin concentration of 11 to 12 g per dL (110 to 120 g per L). All of these disease can be causes of renal failure.
