Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've been experiencing some swelling in my body. I feel weak all over. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it's kidney disease. Is diabetic nephropathy serious?Doctor's answer:
First, diabetes is a chronic disease, primarily caused by poor blood sugar control, and it can lead to damage to other organs. Diabetic nephropathy is a very common complication of diabetes. This condition is generally relatively slow to treat. How many stages can diabetic nephropathy be divided into? If it reaches a severe stage, it becomes difficult to treat.
