Today, I get the one question from one online patients, “ at what stage of CKD does Diabetic Nephropathy appear?” Here, please follow me and find out more answer.

CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) is a condition characterized by a gradual loss of kidney function over time. According to GFR (glomerular filtration rate), CKD is divided into five stages. The lower GFR, the more severe kidney damage, then the patients will suffer more discomfort and symptoms. Well then, is there any relationship between diabetic kidney disease and chronic kidney disease?

According to the statistics, so far, hypertension (High Blood Pressure) and Diabetes have became the two leading causes of chronic kidney disease. Kidney disease or kidney damage that occurs in people with diabetes is called diabetic kidney disease. That’s to say, long-term diabetes will gradually develop into kidney disease if left controlled. So for the question, I can tell you that not all chronic kidney disease will suffer from diabetic renal disease, while if patients themselves have diabetes, they are more likely to suffer from kidney damage.

Aside from that, I prefer telling other fact: Diabetic Kidney Disease may gradually develop Kidney Failure. Therefore, it is important to take effective treatments to stop the progression of illness conditions.

1. You can slow kidney damage by controlling blood sugar level, which you can do by:

Eating healthy foods

Getting regular exercise

Taking medicines or insulin as instructed by your health care provider.

Checking your blood sugar level as often as instructed

2. You can stop illness conditions’ progression through repairing kidney damage and improving renal function:

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy: it takes effects to dilating blood vessels, anti-inflammation, anti-coagulation and degrading extracellular matrix. This therapy uses specific herbs which can improve the self-cure of damaged cells and improve the filtering ability of glomeruli.
