Diabetic Nephropathy
Diabetic nephropathy is a progressive damage to the kidneys that can appear as a consequence of poorly controlled diabetes over time, affecting the ability to filter the blood.
Possible manifestations: In early stages it may go unnoticed; over time, swelling in the legs or feet, changes in the urine, and high blood pressure may be noticed.
Associated factors: High glucose levels sustained over time, high blood pressure, and a family history are related to its development.
Which specialist treats it? The nephrologist evaluates kidney function and the endocrinologist supports diabetes control, with the internist involved depending on each situation. Keeping up follow-up with a professional helps monitor kidney health in time.
