Diabetic nephropathy (Diabetic Kidney Disease): A serious complication of diabetes

This in itself is bad; what’s worse is that it increases blood pressure too. High blood pressure, in turn, further increases pressure on the kidneys’ filtering system. If left unchecked, this will surely result in kidney failure. This is a life-threatening condition and dialysis or kidney transplant are the only treatment choices.Diabetic Nephropathy Symptoms

· Erratic or hard-to-regulate BP

· Increased frequency of urination

· Fatigue and lethargy

· Disorientation or difficulty in concentrating

· Shortness of breath

· Appetite loss

· Nausea, puking

· Itching
