Diabetic Nephropathy

Renal damage, the so-called diabetic nephropathy, is common in patients with diabetes mellitus. This is a very serious complication. The disease includes five stages. The first three are reversible and can be detected when studying urine on protein microparticles. The appearance of the protein in the general analysis of urine testifies to the presence of the fourth stage, which, unfortunately, is irreversible. In the future, chronic renal failure, manifested by a decrease in the excretory function of the kidneys, increased blood pressure and a rise in blood levels of creatinine and urea. In order to prevent the development of diabetic nephropathy or to stop the further development of an already existing complication, it is necessary to maintain the blood glucose level at a level as close as possible to normal. In addition, each patient must at least four times a year to submit a urine test to determine in her albumin protein.

With diabetic nephropathy, the main symptom is swelling. They usually begin with the lower limbs and gradually spread throughout the

t spruce. At laboratory research of urine in it the protein and cylinders are found out( occurrence of cylinders speaks about degenerate processes in kidneys).In the subsequent there is a renal hypertension.

In patients with nephropathy, strict bed rest is shown. Sharply limited consumption of protein, table salt and liquids. Food should be mainly carbohydrate and vegetable-milk.

In the treatment, plants with diuretic, anti-inflammatory, hypotensive, antimicrobial and soothing properties are commonly used. Do not forget about plants that increase the resistance of the body.

Diabetic nephropathy is currently the leading cause of high disability and mortality in diabetic patients. The incidence of diabetic nephropathy varies from 40 to 50% in patients with insulin-dependent diabetes( IDDM) and from 15 to 30% in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes( NIDDM).The danger of this complication is that, developing slowly and gradually, diabetic kidney damage remains unnoticed for a long time, because it does not clinically cause a person feeling discomfort. And only at the marked( often terminal) stage of renal pathology, complaints arise related to intoxication of the body with nitrogenous slags, but at this stage it is not always possible to radically help the patient. The main task of the therapist, endocrinologist or nephrologist is to timely diagnose diabetic nephropathy and to conduct adequate pathogenetic therapy for this complication.
