Diabetes can harm the kidneys through a condition known as diabetic nephropathy. Elevated blood sugar levels over time can damage the small blood vessels in the kidneys. The kidneys play a crucial role in filtering waste and excess fluids from the blood, but when the tiny blood vessels are impaired, they become less effective in performing this function.
As a result, protein may leak into the urine, and waste products can build up in the body. The kidneys may also become scarred and less efficient in regulating blood pressure. Over time, these complications can lead to chronic kidney disease (CKD) or even kidney failure if not managed effectively. Regular monitoring, lifestyle modifications, and proper management of diabetes are essential in mitigating the risk of kidney damage in individuals with diabetes. Consulting with a healthcare professional, such as a urologist or nephrologist, is crucial for early detection and proactive intervention
