Diabetes and Renal Impairment : Let’s Understand the Link
Individuals with diabetes often develop kidney disease or damage over time. We refer to this kind of kidney disease as diabetic nephropathy. Nephrons in diabetics gradually thicken and get damaged over time. Urine starts to contain protein (albumin) due to nephron leaks. This damage may occur years before kidney disease symptoms appear. When type 2 diabetes develops slowly, kidney damage may already be present in some patients when they are first diagnosed.
