What is Diabteic Nephropathy?

It is a kidney disease that causes extreme damage to your kidneys. If you already have diabetes then the elevated levels of sugar glucose can play a consequential role in destructing the parts within the kidneys that are responsible for filtering your blood.

As a result leakage of essential proteins into urine happens.Which forms several obstructions in the functions that kidneys handle.

Diabetic nephropathy causes serious kidney damage to people with type 1 and types 2 diabetes mainly. It has caused 25% of people to develop kidney failure eventually. The rate of functioning of kidneys is mainly disturbed. Due to which the abrupt behaviour of surrounding tissues and organs also occurs.

Looking at the percentile, around 40% of cases with kidney failure are due to diabetes. Which can lead you to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) that is the final stage of diabetic nephropathy.

Each kidney consists of millions of nephrons that filters waste from your blood. If diabetic nephropathy occurs, they are unable to perform their jobs accordingly.

Protein plays a major role in your body as it is responsible for building and repairing tissues. Most importantly blood protein albumin is needed for holding the essential fluids in your bloodstream. Diabetic nephropathy can cause leakage of albumin into your urine. Measurement of albumin determines the conditions of your health and how much diabetic nephropathy has progressed. Over time some complications can raise diabetic nephropathy. If you are not living a healthy lifestyle, the levels of cholesterol and diabetes will increase day by day. Diabetic nephropathy can also cause damage to the cluster of tiny vessels in your kidneys, loss of kidney function and high blood pressure. High blood pressure and diabetes are proven to be harmful to your body as they are responsible for kidney failure and extreme kidney damage.
