Symptoms of diabetic nephropathy

summary

My classmate's grandmother recently discovered that there was a bubble in her urine when she urinated, and her blood pressure increased. Some parts of her body would be swollen. The doctor said she had diabetic nephropathy. Now I'll talk about the symptoms of diabetic nephropathy.

Symptoms of diabetic nephropathy

First: proteinuria: can be the only early performance. During the period, proteinuria was intermittent and gradually developed into persistent. Leukocytes and tubular type could be found by urine microscopic examination. Edema: diabetic nephropathy in patients with early general no edema, a small number of patients in the plasma protein decreased, there may be mild edema. Edema occurs when 24-hour urine protein exceeds 3 g. Obvious edema was only seen in patients with rapid deterioration of diabetic nephropathy.

Second: hypertension: hypertension in long-term proteinuria in diabetic patients, but not very serious. Hypertension can aggravate nephropathy. Anemia: diabetic nephropathy patients with obvious azotemia may have mild to moderate anemia. Anemia is a disorder of erythropoiesis, which is invalid to be treated with iron

Third: abnormal renal function: from the appearance of proteinuria to abnormal renal function, the interval changes greatly. If diabetes is well controlled, proteinuria will not appear abnormal renal function for many years. If not well controlled, renal insufficiency will gradually worsen.

matters needing attention

Diabetic nephropathy patients often have persistent proteinuria, and when proteinuria is too much, the patient's body will appear edema, long-term proteinuria will cause hypertension, and anemia, long-term delay, may cause renal dysfunction, so patients with these conditions should quickly go to the hospital for examination and treatment, timely control the disease.
