Diabetic Nephropathy

Diabetic nephropathy is a serious kidney complication arising from prolonged diabetes. It is characterized by damage to the kidneys' filtering units, leading to protein leakage into the urine. As a progressive condition, it can result in chronic kidney disease and, ultimately, kidney failure if not managed effectively. Tight blood sugar control, blood pressure management, and lifestyle modifications are key components in preventing and slowing the progression of diabetic nephropathy.
