What does diabetic nephropathy symptom have

summary

My uncle has been suffering from diabetes for many years. Later, he was diagnosed with diabetic nephropathy. His body often has edema. Because of its great harm, it is very important to find out its symptoms. Let's take a look at the symptoms of diabetic nephropathy.

What does diabetic nephropathy symptom have

Symptom 1: edema. There is no edema in the early stage of clinical diabetic nephropathy, and a few patients may have mild edema before the decrease of plasma protein. If a large amount of proteinuria, low plasma protein, edema phenomenon will become serious, mostly for the disease progression to late performance.

Symptom 2: proteinuria. There is no clinical proteinuria in early diabetic nephropathy. Only radioimmunoassay can detect microalbuminuria. The only early manifestation of clinical diabetic nephropathy is proteinuria, which gradually develops from intermittent to persistent.

Symptom 3: renal failure. There are great differences in the progression of diabetic nephropathy. Some patients with mild proteinuria can last for many years, but their renal function is normal. Some patients with little proteinuria may have renal failure.

matters needing attention

Recurrent urinary tract infection may accelerate the progression of diabetic nephropathy, so diabetic patients should try to avoid urinary tract infection. If the edema is serious, it is necessary to control the salt intake to prevent increasing the burden on the kidney.
