Patient's question:
Many people in modern life suffer from diabetes and kidney disease, especially men. For example, my second uncle was recently diagnosed with diabetes. Therefore, in addition to treatment, we also want to understand prevention methods. To this end, we would like to consult on how to scientifically prevent diabetic nephropathy.Doctor's answer:
You have a good awareness of health, and if diabetes is strictly controlled with blood sugar, blood lipids, and blood pressure, early treatment can reduce the recurrence of all complications of diabetes. However, patients often do not take it seriously, making it very easy to experience these chronic complications of diabetes again. Diabetic nephropathy is caused by high renal filtration and renal overload. It is recommended to strictly control blood pressure and keep it as low as 130-80 mmHg during the day, with ideal blood sugar levels. This will reduce the risk of diabetic nephropathy.
