diabetic nephropathy

Diabetic nephropathy is a condition where high blood sugar levels from diabetes damage the kidneys’ filtering units over time. This damage causes the kidneys to become less effective at removing waste and excess fluid from the body. As it progresses, protein may leak into the urine, and kidney function worsens, potentially leading to kidney failure. Good blood sugar control, blood pressure management, and regular medical check-ups are essential to slow or prevent this complication. Early detection and proper treatment can help protect kidney health and delay serious outcomes.
