What are the common complications of diabetic nephropathy
Diabetic nephropathy has a high incidence in patients with kidney disease, and this is the most serious complication of diabetes. As is known, kidney disease often causes many symptoms in patients, and what are the common symptoms of diabetic nephropathy?
- Proteinuria
Proteinuria may be the first clinical symptom of diabetic nephropathy. Proteinuria is insignificant and intermittent at the beginning, and it is likely that the patient does not realize that he already has proteinuria for several years. But as the progression of the patient's illness, the patient can have massive and continuous proteinuria, which can cause many obvious symptoms.
- Water Drops
Edema is also an obvious symptom of a patient with diabetic nephropathy, and massive proteinuria is the main cause of edema. And swelling often indicates that the kidney disease in the patient has progressed to a late stage.
- High blood pressure
Hypertension is also a common symptom of diabetic nephropathy. Diabetic nephropathy is mainly caused by damage to the kidney structure in the patient, and can also have a close connection with the retention of sodium and water. Hypertension is a complication of kidney damage, and this can exacerbate kidney damage in the patient, so it is important for the patient to monitor his blood pressure.
- Anemia
Anemia is also very common in patients with diabetic nephropathy, and this can cause the patient to always feel fatigue. The kidney has the function of excreting hormones, among which hemopoietin is important for the production of red blood cells. When a patient has serious damage to the kidneys, this can damage the excretion of hematopoietin, so the production of red cells will also decrease.
- Renal insufficiency
The patient may not have renal failure for many years after he has proteinuria, but if the patient does not control the disease very well, renal failure may appear much earlier. And therefore, treatment on time is very important, Chinese medicine can help patients.
