Preventing Diabetic nephropathy


 

Diabetic nephropathy is the most common cause of end-stage renal disease.

It occurs in 25–40% of patients with diabetes!
So if you have diabetes but fail to keep your blood sugar within an acceptable range, you run a significant risk of developing kidney disease.
Prevention of diabetic nephropathy is crucial. The basis for the prevention of diabetic nephropathy is the treatment of its known risk factors including hypertension, hyperglycemia, smoking, and dyslipidemia.
The goal of treatment is to prevent diabetic kidney disease from progressing to total kidney failure.
Treatment includes diet and lifestyle changes to control high blood pressure and blood sugar levels.

Are you at Risk of Diabetic nephropathy?

 


Over 40 percent of cases of kidney failure are caused by diabetes.
Diabetic nephropathy affects your kidneys' ability to do their usual work of removing waste products and extra fluid from your body.
It is a type of progressive kidney disease that may occur in people who have type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
With early treatment, you can slow or even stop the progression of the disease.
The best way to prevent or delay diabetic nephropathy is by maintaining a healthy lifestyle and treating your diabetes and high blood pressure.
