Diabetic nephropathy is one of the microvascular complications of diabetes
the most important type 2 diabetes patients with nephropathy prevalence of
34.7%. With the rapid economic development, people's living standards
continue to improve, the incidence of diabetes is increasing year by year,
diabetes
Patients with nephropathy have increased. In developed countries diabetic
nephropathy has become the first cause of ESRD, but also has become following
the second cause of primary glomerular diseases, diabetes caused by one of the
main reasons for death, disability, so the effective prevention and treatment of
diabetic nephropathy has become one of the major issue.
Development and staging of diabetic nephropathy
Diabetic nephropathy is one of the diabetic microangiopathy often associated
with diabetic retinopathy. Egg
White urine is a sign of diabetic nephropathy progress. The sustained
microalbuminuria in early diabetic nephropathy,, the prosecution

In addition, we should also pay attention to the identification,

treatment of diabetic nephropathy will be adversely affected by illness. The
etiology of diabetic nephropathy is very complex, it is not very clear, but
mainly the following risk factors: genetic, hypertension, high blood sugar and
obesity, dyslipidemia, high uric acid. Including hypertension and high blood
sugar is an important risk factor for the occurrence and development of diabetic
nephropathy. Previous studies recognized cardiovascular and cerebrovascular
diseases is diabetes the most common complications and death in the direct cause
of hypertension and high blood sugar can significantly increased the incidence
of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
The relationship between hypertension and diabetic nephropathy

The selection and application of antihypertensive drugs

The antihypertensive drugs selected for the angiotensin-converting enzyme

DCCT study conducted in 1441 patients with type 1 diabetes patients from 29
medical centers in the United States and Canada in 1993, with its strict design,
large-scale observation for a long time been recognized as the most convincing
studies that strict control high blood sugar can effectively delay the onset and
development of diabetic nephropathy. Studies have shown that strict control of
blood sugar can make of microalbuminuria in type 1 diabetes incidence decreased
by 39%, the incidence of clinical proteinuria decreased by 54%. The United
Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) is so far the longest Prospective
Diabetes Study, intensive therapy group intervention on selected newly diagnosed
patients with type 2 diabetes for more than 10 years, mean HbA1c was 7.0%, the
conventional therapy group was 7.9%. Intensive treatment of the relative risk of
any diabetes-related endpoint by 12%, mainly due to reduced risk of
microvascular complications. Intensive glucose control can make the occurrence
of microalbuminuria in patients with type 2 diabetes by 30 percent. Analysis
found that intensive treatment HbA1c decreasing by 1%, 21% lower relative risk
of any diabetes-related endpoint, the risk of microvascular complications can be
reduced by 37%. For blood sugar control, with HbA1c as a blood glucose target

Expert tips
Diabetes is a disease of serious harm to human health. Closely related to the
occurrence of diabetic nephropathy, development and high blood pressure, high
blood sugar. Control of blood pressure and blood sugar levels were independent
risk factors affecting the prognosis of diabetic nephropathy. Strict blood
pressure, blood glucose control is of great significance to reduce proteinuria
and protect renal function and prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular
complications, In addition, we should also pay attention to the regulation of
lipid levels to statin cholesterol lowering agents, should be to control high
uric acid hyperlipidemia, appropriate restrictions on the amount of protein
intake, avoiding use of nephrotoxic drugs. Regular monitoring of urine, urinary
protein excretion, renal function and blood sugar levels, in order to adjust the
treatment plan, and strive to make the indicators achieved and delay the
development of diabetic nephropathy, while reducing the occurrence of
cardiovascular complications and fatal complications, improve quality of life of
patients with diabetes.

I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
ReplyDeleteliver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
