Diabetic Kidney Disease

Diabetic Kidney Disease (DKD) is a common complication of diabetes that affects the kidneys, which filter waste from the blood. Elevated blood sugar levels can damage the tiny blood vessels in the kidneys, impairing their function over time. This can lead to protein leaking into the urine and, if untreated, may progress to kidney failure. Early detection through regular check-ups is crucial, as managing blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol can slow the disease's progression and help maintain kidney health.
