Kidney Failure & Renal Care

Diabetic Nephropathy

The diabetic kidney disease, also known as diabetic nephropathy, is a renal condition that often affects some people with diabetes mellitus. The kidney's glomeruli and filters are harmed in diabetic nephropathy. This disorder causes the kidneys to leak an excessive amount of blood protein into the urine. Blood glucose or blood sugar levels are significantly high in people with diabetes. The kidneys may be harmed if this continues for a long time. Your kidneys' job is to purify your blood. If they are injured, waste and fluids build up in the blood without being eliminated by the body. Diabetic nephropathy is the term used when diabetes damages the kidney. Usually, it begins long before you start to have symptoms. Its initial symptom is modest.
