Why diabetic patients are most afraid of kidney damage?

Diabetic nephropathy lesions in the glomeruli, early visible thickening of the glomerular capillary ball basement membrane, followed by narrow blood vessels, blocking blood flow through the kidneys is significantly reduced, or even a "short circuit" in the blood waste can not be fully discharged and then accumulate in the blood, up to a certain extent, is uremia.
Diabetic nephropathy have a long course of
Insulin-dependent diabetes, for example, initially to 10 years, almost no symptoms, often overlooked, "deceptive", so called occult period. In fact, if the urine microalbumin, and can often be found. Therefore, people with diabetes should regularly determination of urine protein, here needs to be emphasized is that the conventional urine protein examination is not found, the need to measure trace protein. The urine can be detected in the protein, this time more than the middle of the diabetic nephropathy, began intermittent fatigue and disease poorly controlled, and then gradually evolved into persistent proteinuria. Edema and hypertension is characteristic of diabetic nephropathy, diabetic nephropathy will eventually enter the renal failure of this period, the kidney is almost the loss of filtration and reabsorption, body waste is excreted by the kidneys, "sewage" Smirnov, uremic spread to various organizations. organs.
Non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus complicated by nephropathy course of short, this may be difficult to ascertain the onset time.
Diabetic nephropathy focuses on prevention, as necessary, restriction of dietary protein quality
Diabetic nephropathy, once formed, treatment is difficult, and therefore focuses on early prevention, early diagnosis and treatment. Trace protein determination of the project as a long-term routine examination, urine tested once every 1-3 months, even if the urine microalbumin negative should also be active prevention, to win a number of years of early diagnosis and treatment time.
When the development of diabetic nephropathy to renal damage is more significant under the guidance of a doctor to limit the quality of the protein in the diet. The total daily intake of 1.2 to 1.5 g per kg of standard body weight of the normal to the initial 1.0 to 1.2 grams, advanced 0.6 to 0.8 g. Many patients think that the protein is lost from the urine, would like to compensate by increasing the protein content of the diet, in fact, this method has not only failed to increase the protein content in the blood, but increased the burden on the kidneys, accelerated renal failure. This point, please bear in mind the diabetic patients. High-quality protein (animal protein) instead of the vegetable protein is a useful way, such a small but efficient initiatives can reduce the burden of renal function, and not too small so that the body protein, is a better expedient.
Hypertension to accelerate the process of renal failure
Hypertension is the most important factor to accelerate the process of renal failure, early, aggressive treatment. Have high blood pressure should strengthen management and monitoring, it is recommended that the measurement once a week. Low-salt contribute to blood pressure control, the daily intake of no more than 5 grams. Antihypertensive drugs should use the expansion of renal vascular, and help to improve renal function.
The patient end is not of renal failure, only dialysis or kidney transplantation. At this point, not only more costly, the patient will also be under tremendous suffering. Therefore, all the kidneys, the drug should avoid it, and actively prevent urinary tract infections, and properly protect your kidney function, so that the body's sewage treatment system in good working condition.
