Diabetes with Renal Manifestation
A renal manifestation of diabetes is a frequent occurrence of the disease. In our kidneys there are many capillaries (tiny blood vessels), and they have tiny holes which act as filters. High amounts of blood sugar make the kidneys work harder and filter too much blood. They begin to leak over-time and lose valuable proteins.
Overtime, the overworked kidneys also lose their ability to filter. Therefore, waste products begin building in the blood. This causes leads to kidney failure. A person who experiences kidney failure will either need to have a kidney transplant or have their blood filtered by a machine (dialysis).
Preventative factors can keep this manifestation of diabetes from occurring. Blood sugar and blood pressure are key factors in avoiding renal problem in diabetes. Tight blood sugar control has been shown to risk renal failure in diabetics by one third. Losing weight, eating less salt, exercising regularly, as well as avoiding alcohol and tobacco are way in which to both control your blood sugar and blood pressure.
A diabetic manifestation of the kidney is often called diabetic nephropathy. It is important to catch this condition early; however this is difficult as there are visual manifestations until you are in a bad state. It usually takes urine or blood tests to diagnose the condition. There are risk factors that help to indicate that you may need to be tested. They are:
- Having elevated blood sugar often
