Patient's question:
Uncle has not been in good health for the past year. Sometimes he has no appetite for dinner, and his waist also aches. He also suffers from severe dizziness. Yesterday, he had a thorough medical examination and was told that he has diabetes and kidney disease. So, what should he do with diabetes and kidney disease?Doctor's answer:
If you have diabetic nephropathy, this condition is quite serious and it is necessary to follow medical advice to take appropriate treatment measures. In most cases, when someone has both diabetes and kidney disease, it is important to be aware of possible kidney dysfunction and edema. Treatment measures should be taken based on the specific condition to prevent the recurrence of kidney failure. Once kidney failure occurs again, dialysis treatment needs to be implemented, while insulin is used to control blood sugar.
