Diabetic Nephropathy is a serious complex of Diabetes, which may easily
develop into Uremia or Renal Failure if not well controlled. It is very
important to know the symptoms of Diabetic Nephropathy, which can help patients
to seek for treatment timely and won't delay the condition for treatment. Then,
what are the symptoms of Diabetic Nephropathy?
1. Edema: patients at the early stage of Diabetic Nephropathy usually have no
symptom of edema. A few patients can have slight edema before the decline of
plasma protein. When 24-hour protein in urine is more than 3 grams, obvious
edema can occur. Besides, obvious edema is only common for patients with rapid
progress of Diabetic Nephropathy.
2.Anemia: patients with obvious azotemia can be accompanied with slight or
moderate anemia, which can not be corrected with chalybeate. It is caused by
defect in erythropoiesis, which is related with long-term restriction of protein
intake and azotemia.
3. Hypertension: hypertension is a common symptom of Diabetic Nephropathy.
Hypertension can promote the progress of Diabetic Nephropathy or even make it
get worse.
4.Proteinuria: MALB can occur when glomerular filtration pressure increases
or charge changes on filtration membrane, which is selectivity proteinuria
without the increase of globulin and it can persist several years. With the
increased enlarging filtration pore of glomerular basement membrane,
macromolecular substances can gothrough it, representing nonselective clinical
proteinuria. With the condition not well controlled it can lead to serious
proteinuria and if the protein in urine is more than 3 grams each day, it may be
a sign of bad prognosis. The condition of proteinuria can represent progressive
development.
