Patient's question:
My uncle was carefully diagnosed with diabetes. Later, I heard from a colleague that diabetes can very likely develop into uremia, which is very serious. I am very worried about my uncle's condition. Hello doctor, how should one prevent the progression of diabetes to uremia?Doctor's answer:
Preventing uremia requires preventing some of the causes that may lead to uremia. The most common causes of uremia are chronic glomerulonephritis, diabetic nephropathy, hypertensive nephropathy, kidney stones, polycystic kidney disease, and other diseases. Nephritis is related to immune dysfunction, so regular exercise, a balanced work-rest schedule, ensuring deep sleep, and reducing immune function can help prevent the recurrence of nephritis.
