Overview

Diabetic kidney disease, also called diabetic nephropathy, is a condition affecting people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes in which damage occurs to the kidneys. It is one of the most common complications of diabetes and is the leading cause of kidney failure in the United States. Early signs of diabetic kidney disease may include high blood pressure, protein in the urine, and decreased kidney function. Without proper management, the kidneys can be damaged to the point of kidney failure. People with diabetes should monitor their blood glucose levels and manage their diabetes with diet, exercise, and medications to help minimize the progression of diabetic kidney disease. With proper management, people can often slow or stop the progression of diabetic kidney disease. Early diagnosis and treatment can also help reduce the risk of long-term complications such as kidney failure, stroke, and heart disease.
