About the disease & condition

Diabetic Nephropathy is a kidney condition caused by long-term damage from uncontrolled diabetes. High blood sugar levels gradually damage the kidney’s filtering units, leading to protein leakage into the urine and reduced kidney function. The condition develops slowly and may not show symptoms in the early stages. Without proper management, it can progress to chronic kidney disease or kidney failure. Strict blood sugar control, regular kidney monitoring, and early treatment play a key role in slowing disease progression.
