Diabetic Glomerulosclerosis
Diabetic glomerulosclerosis is progressive damage to the kidney's small filters, the glomeruli, that appears as a complication of poorly controlled diabetes over time. It is part of what is known as diabetic nephropathy.
How it presents: In its early stages it may go unnoticed; over time swelling, protein in the urine, and changes in blood pressure may appear.
Why it matters: It affects the kidney's ability to filter the blood, which is why early detection is important in people living with diabetes.
Which specialist provides care? The nephrologist is the one who evaluates and follows up on kidney function, in coordination with the diabetologist and the internist for diabetes control; the general practitioner supports the overall follow-up. Keeping periodic checkups with a professional helps monitor kidney health.
