Diabetic Nephropathy (DM Nephrology): Causes, Symptoms & Management

DM Nephrology stands for Diabetic Nephropathy.

Diabetic nephropathy is a complication of diabetes that affects the kidneys. It is a leading cause of kidney failure and end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

Diabetic nephropathy occurs when high blood sugar levels damage the blood vessels in the kidneys. This damage can lead to decreased kidney function, protein in the urine, and eventually kidney failure.

Diabetic nephropathy is a serious condition, but it can be slowed or prevented with proper management of blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and other risk factors.
