Geriatric Diabetic Nephropathy

Geriatric diabetic nephropathy refers to kidney damage that occurs in older adults with diabetes. Over time, high blood sugar levels from diabetes can harm the kidneys, affecting their ability to filter waste from the blood. This condition can lead to serious health issues, including kidney failure. Older adults are more vulnerable due to age-related changes and other health problems. Managing diabetes through medication, diet, and regular medical check-ups is essential to prevent or slow kidney damage. Early detection and intervention can help maintain kidney function and improve overall health in older individuals with diabetes.
