Diabetic kidney disease, or diabetic nephropathy, is a complication of diabetes where high blood sugar damages the kidneys' filtering ability. It develops gradually, often with no early symptoms, but can lead to swelling, fatigue, high blood pressure, and changes in urination as it progresses. Key management strategies include controlling blood sugar and blood pressure, along with lifestyle changes. Regular monitoring and treatment are crucial to prevent severe outcomes, such as kidney failure, which may require dialysis or a transplant. Early intervention and adherence to prescribed treatments can significantly slow disease progression and improve quality of life. Additionally, working with a healthcare team to address any related conditions can enhance overall kidney health. Reducing protein intake in the diet can help lessen the kidneys' workload. Regular exercise and maintaining a healthy weight contribute to better kidney function and overall health. Avoiding medications that can harm the kidneys is also essential in managing diabetic nephropathy effectively.
