What Should Patients with Diabetic Kidney Disease Do?

Diabetes itself is not terrible. What terrible is its complications. Diabetic kidney disease is a common complication of Diabetes. Its clinical feature is proteinuria (protein in urine). Kidney functions are damaged gradually and high blood pressure and swelling appear. In the late period, kidney failure occurs, which is one of causes for death. In order to avoid aggravating illness condition, what should patients with Diabetic Kidney Disease do?
1. Control blood sugar
For diabetic kidney disease, the first measure is to control blood sugar. Once this disease aggravates, it is hard to treat. Many patients choose hypoglycemic drugs to control blood sugar. However, some oral hypoglycemic drugs are excreted through the kidneys. Therefore, patients should avoid these drugs when kidneys are damaged seriously.
2. Control blood pressure
It is very important to control blood pressure during the treatment. High blood pressure can make the illness condition aggravate further. For patients with Type 1 Diabetes, high blood pressure appears after the occurrence of diabetic kidney disease. While for patients with Type 2 Diabetes, high blood pressure is always accompanied with diabetes. Especially for patients with Type 1 Diabetes, if they control high blood pressure in the early stage, kidney failure in late period may be delayed to 10~20 years.
3. Control protein intake
Patients should reduce the intake of protein, which can relieve kidney burden and delay the development of this disease. Usually, the reduced protein can be replaced by carbohydrate.
4. Control blood fat
During treatment, patients also should control blood fat. Only when blood fat is normal can this disease be prevented better.
