Complications of renal failure in diabetics

Diabetic kidney disease is one of the dangerous complications that diabetics can suffer from. This symptom may appear at the time of diagnosis of type 2 diabetes or 10 years after contracting the disease. If there is no treatment in the right direction and in time, it can lead to diabetic kidney failure, kidney fibrosis, life-threatening at any time.

1. What are the complications of diabetes?

People with diabetes who are not treated properly can lead to many dangerous complications. So what complications does diabetes have, when do complications occur?…

Regarding this, doctors say that the long-term increase in chronic glucose in diabetics will cause metabolic disorders of carbohydrates, protide, lipide and cause damage in many different agencies (heart, kidneys, eyes, nerves …).

Complications of diabetes include:

1.1 Cardiovascular complications in diabetics

Just like diabetic renal failure ,cardiovascular complications are one of the leading complications in patients with diabetes mellitus. The reason for cardiovascular complications is that patients have long-term increases in blood glucose levels, causing coronary artery diseases, which can easily lead to stroke or myocardial infarction. In particular, high blood glucose, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and other risk factors also increase cardiovascular complications in patients with diabetes mellitus.

1.2 Complications of renal failure in patients with diabetes mellitus

Complications of diabetic renal failure will cause small vascular lesions in the kidneys that lead to improper functioning of the kidneys, poor functioning or renal failure.

1.3 Neurological diseases in diabetics

When suffering from type 2 diabetes, the person can suffer nerve damage throughout the body by the effects of high blood pressure and blood glucose. This diabetes complications are often accompanied by digestive problems, erectile dysfunction and some other functions in the body.

1.4 Complications of retinopathy in diabetics

According to the survey, most diabetics will experience complications of certain types of eye diseases, be it vision loss or blindness, the main cause of continuous high blood glucose levels along with increased blood pressure. However, this complications can be controlled through a re-examination of the eye periodically.

2. Why diabetes mellitus leads to kidney failure?

" Why diabetes mellitus leads to kidneyfailure ?" is the question of many patients with diabetes. Diabetic kidneys also known as Kimmelstiel Wilson syndrome are a condition in which renal function is significantly impaired, which is caused by diabetes mellitus.

The pathogeness of this diabetic renal failure complications are quite complex, normally, blood will flow into the kidneys through the renal arteries with a multitude of tiny blood vessels and concentrated in small tufts called red blood cells. However, in people with diabetes mellitus, when blood glucose levels increase prolonged, more oxidizing substances will damage the capillaries in the kidney. At the same time, excessive blood sugar levels, exceeding the sugar threshold of the kidneys cause this body to overactive, which after a long time will make the holes bigger, causing the protein to get out, affecting kidney function. This condition due to the lack of timely treatment causes the kidneys to gradually become fibrous and completely lose their functions, the patient is now forced to use dialysis or kidney transplantation to treat and prolong life.

3. Signs of kidney failure complications in diabetics

Complications of early diabetic renal failure are often very faint, in some cases the person will see an increase in blood pressure, body fatigue or slight swelling of the feet. For the most part, patients only detect after a urine test for microalbumin or abdominal ultrasound that sees a large kidney. When complications are severe, it is possible to cause such manifestations as:

  • Effervescent urine
  • Hypertension

Diabetic renal failure

When complications of severe blood pressure may increase
  • Urinate several times during the night
  • Itching, pale skin, tired people
  • Edema of feet, legs
  • Facial edema.
  • Frequent hypoth glucose drops, nausea, loss of appetite.

Early detection of kidney failure complications in diabetics is extremely important, helping to prevent the severe problems it causes to the patient's health.

Since November 2018, Share99 Times City International Health Hub has applied a new L-FABP testing technique that allows early diagnosis of kidney damage levels and the identification of an emergency micro-cyclic disorder. This is a new biomarker that reflects the serious condition of the gliding tube before there are signs on the tissue from which the doctor can promptly treat it. With this technique, patients only need to take urine tests at any time of the day and will give accurate results after 30 minutes. Up to now, Share99 is proud to be the first address in Vietnam to apply this testing technique according to Japanese technology on modern automatic AU680 testing machines.
