| shikha | Re: Diabeetic nephropathy Diabetic nephropathy is damage to your kidneys caused by diabetes. In severe cases it can lead to kidney failure. But not everyone with diabetes has kidney damage. Symptoms: There are no symptoms in the early stages. So it's important to have regular urine tests to find kidney damage early. Sometimes early kidney damage can be reversed. As your kidneys are less able to do their job, you may notice swelling in your body, most often in your feet and legs. Treatments: The main treatment is medicine to lower your blood pressure and prevent or slow the damage to your kidneys. These medicines include: Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, also called ACE inhibitors. Angiotensin II receptor blockers, also called ARBs. Measures: And there are other steps you can take. For example: Keep your blood sugar levels within your target range. This can help slow the damage to the small blood vessels in the kidneys. Work with your doctor to keep your blood pressure under control. Your doctor will give you a goal for your blood pressure. Your goal will be based on your health and your age. An example of a goal is to keep your blood pressure below 140/90. Keep your heart healthy by eating healthy foods and exercising regularly. Preventing heart disease is important, because people with diabetes are more likely to have heart and blood vessel diseases. And people with kidney disease are at an even higher risk for heart disease. Watch how much protein you eat. Eating too much is hard on your kidneys. If diabetes has affected your kidneys, limiting how much protein you eat may help you preserve kidney function. Talk to your doctor or dietitian about how much protein is best for you. Watch how much salt you eat. Eating less salt helps keep high blood pressure from getting worse. Don't smoke or use other tobacco products. |
