Patient's question:
Can diabetic nephropathy be treated with albumin injection?Doctor's answer:
Hello: It is not recommended to use albumin, on the one hand because it is expensive, and on the other hand, it is sufficient to supplement the daily protein needs of the body, such as lean meat and fish, at a daily protein intake of 1g/kg body weight. Do not blindly treat. For the treatment of diabetic nephropathy, it is recommended to use an insulin pump for intensive therapy to keep blood sugar within an ideal range, which means strictly controlling blood sugar without allowing the medication to cause kidney damage. Additionally, traditional Chinese medicine decoctions and enema therapy are required. Of course, each person's condition is different, so treatment must be personalized. In the end, diabetes damages large blood vessels, leading to complications such as cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, and diabetic foot; it also affects small blood vessels, leading to diabetic nephropathy and diabetic retinopathy. Once complications appear, it means the condition is already serious. As we often say, "Diabetes is not,." The complications of diabetes develop gradually and subtly. Chronic complications are frightening, but as long as proper treatment is received, they can be well controlled. We advise you to seek comprehensive treatment at a specialized diabetes hospital. Do not think that taking some hypoglycemic drugs alone can control the condition. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
