Diabetic nephropathy(diabetic kidney disease)is the deterioration of kidney functioning due to long-term diabetes(high blood sugar ). It is one of the severe complications of diabetic people, ultimately leading to kidney failure.

• Fluid retaining
• High blood pressure
• Swelling of the hands, feet, ankles and eyes
• Excreting protein in the urine
• Extreme tiredness
• Extreme weakness
• Reduced appetite
• Stomach problem

High blood sugar: Uncontrolled diabetes causes impairment of the glomeruli of the nephron responsible for filtering the toxic waste from our blood leading to diabetic nephropathy.

High blood pressure: Uncontrolled high blood pressure creates additional pressure in the kidney nephrons, which causes further kidney malfunction and rapid kidney damage.
