Complications
Diabetic Nephrology basically means kidney damage resulting out of poor diabetes control. It is a serious complication that impairs vital kidney function either wholly or partially over a period of time.
According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, 1 out of 4 US adults with diabetes have kidney disease.
Symptoms of Diabetic Nephrology may not be detected early as they take time to develop. If you get regular lab tests and work with your medical practitioner to understand them, early detection of kidney damage is possible.
