Diabetic nephropathy

Diabetic kidney disease (Diabetic nephropathy) is a complication that occurs in some people with diabetes. In this condition the filters of the kidneys become damaged. Because of this the kidneys leaks abnormal amounts of protein from the blood into the urine. The main protein that leaks out from the damaged kidneys is called albumin. In normal healthy kidneys only a tiny amount of albumin is found in the urine. A raised level of albumin in the urine is the typical first sign that the kidneys have become damaged by diabetes.

Prevention-
1- Have their A1C level measured at least twice a year. The test provides a weighted average of their blood glucose level for the previous 3 months. It should be managed at 7 percent.

2- Talk with health experts regarding insulin injections, medicines, meal planning, physical activity, and blood glucose monitoring.

3-Have their blood pressure checked several times a year. If blood pressure is high, they should follow their health care  plan for keeping it near normal levels. They should aim to keep it at less than 140/90.

4-Get their eGFR measured at least once a year to learn how well their kidneys are working.

5-In people with diabetes, excessive consumption of protein may be harmful. Experts recommend that people with kidney disease of diabetes consume the recommended dietary allowance for protein, but avoid high-protein diets. For people with greatly reduced kidney function, a diet containing reduced amounts of protein may help delay the onset of kidney failure. Anyone following a reduced-protein diet should work with a dietitian to ensure adequate nutrition.
