For diabetics, even after scientific and standardized treatment, the body's immunity will become lower and lower.
And because of the chronic increase in blood glucose values, it will cause the eyes, heart, nerves, kidneys, blood vessels and other tissues and organs to be affected by a series of influences, it is easy to appear a series of lesions, the probability of suffering from various complications will be particularly high.
Among them, diabetic nephropathy is a very common complication of diabetes. Once suffering from diabetic nephropathy, if there is no early treatment, it will cause kidney function to decline, so that the patient's health and even life are greatly threatened.
Therefore, for diabetic people, once the symptoms of diabetic nephropathy occur, they must be treated very early. Below, let's give you a detailed introduction to what are the symptoms of diabetic nephropathy, hurry up to understand it.
What are the symptoms of diabetic nephropathy?
1. Abnormal urination
For diabetic people, if a large amount of foam appears in the urine during daily urination, then it is necessary to be vigilant.
Once diabetic nephropathy is developed, the patient's kidney function will decline. The filtration function of the glomeruli is reduced, allowing a large amount of protein to enter the urine.
It will cause the surface tension of the urine to change, resulting in foamy urine, or urine murky phenomenon.
Second, the body edema
The kidneys have the function of forming urine and promoting the excretion of urine, once suffering from diabetic nephropathy, the glomerular filtration rate will drop rapidly, so that the water in the body can not be quickly metabolized.
A large amount of water will accumulate in the interstitial space, causing the patient to develop a condition of body edema.
In particular, the patient's calves, ankles, feet and eyes and other parts of the patient will have more obvious symptoms of edema. If the condition is severe, the patient will have edema problems throughout the body.
Third, blood pressure is unstable
If the blood pressure value of diabetics is repeatedly raised, or if it is persistently unstable, it should also be vigilant.
Once suffering from diabetic nephropathy, the normal function of the kidneys will be abnormal, and abnormal urination will occur.
Some sodium ions in the blood cannot be discharged in time, and the phenomenon of water and sodium retention will be formed. Causes the blood vessel wall to be subjected to excessive pressure, resulting in a continuous increase in blood pressure or instability.
Fourth, the body is weak
The kidneys have the effect of helping the body to detoxify, once suffering from diabetic nephropathy, it will reduce the detoxification function of the kidneys, and a large number of toxins in the body cannot be excreted in time, which will make the physique become very poor.
Moreover, it will affect the normal digestive function, causing people to have indigestion and decreased appetite.
In this way, the body will lack various nutrients, resulting in excessive fatigue and physical decline.
5. Abnormal vision
After developing diabetic nephropathy, patients are highly likely to have microvascular complications. Once diabetic retinopathy is combined, it changes the patient's vision.
For example, blurred vision, decreased vision, diplopia, or shadows in the visual field, and symptoms of floaters.
6. Paresthesias at the ends of the limbs
After developing diabetic nephropathy, the patient's autonomic nervous system is affected accordingly.
Not only will there be heart function, reproductive system function and gastrointestinal dysfunction, but also cause peripheral vascular complications, then the patient's limb endings appear tingling, numbness and other abnormalities.
All in all, for diabetic people, if the above 6 manifestations appear in daily life, or accompanied by symptoms such as reduced digestive function and heart rate disorder, it is generally due to the appearance of diabetic nephropathy.
Then patients must be quickly admitted to the hospital, take corresponding methods for treatment under the guidance of doctors, and make adjustments in diet and other aspects in order to maximize the maintenance of kidney health.
