Kidney damage also may be caused by an elevated level of blood sugar. There are blood vessels in the kidneys which can be damaged by diabetes, resulting in an failure for the kidneys to filter out bodily waste. Known clinically as diabetic nephropathy, this problem can be diagnosed by a detection of protein in your urine. Diabetics are encouraged to go in to a clinic yearly to test for this problem. If diagnosed, health care professionals can give you medications which can help to control the kidney damage. In advanced cases of nephropathy, a dialysis of the kidneys may be required regularly. Kidney transplants are also used to treat severe nephropathy conditions.
One more complication of diabetes is the increased risk of heart attack and stroke. This risk is increased when the diabetic is overweight, smokes, has high blood pressure levels or has a family history of heart problems. Early diagnosis of these problems are crucial to getting through them, so it is important to check regularly with a doctor to ensure your health.
