The early prevention of Diabetic Nephropathy (Diabetic Kidney Disease) is
very important and the common prevention measures are as follows:
1. Patients who have suffered from diabetes for more than 5 years should
regularly check up the renal functions, the nature determination of urine
protein, the ration of 24-hour urine protein and examine the blood pressure and
the ocular fundus.
2. If the condition is allowed, examinations of urine microalbumin and
β2-microglobulin should be done to diagnose the diabetic nephropathy as early as
possible. If the urine microalbumin increases, detections should be done for 3
times in a row within 3 to 6 months to make sure whether it is persistent
microalbumin urine or not.
3. If the increase of microalbumin is determined and there is no other cause
to its increase such as urinary tract infection, exercises and primary
hypertension, the patients must be alert to this phenomenon and should try to
control the blood sugar to make it close to the normal level. Meanwhile, on the
aspect of diet, low-salt and low-protein food and high-grade protein are
preferred.
In addition, patients should receive the guidance from standard physicians to
treat their disease. In recent years, a lot of scholars have made discussions to
the cause and mechanism of this disease and they have reached the following
consensus: the causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD) are that immune complex
deposits in the glomerulus, immune hyperfunction results in deficiency-excess
complications.
Treatment in combination with dialectics: reducing phlegm as the main way and
tonifying liver and kidney or recuperating spleen and kidney as the assistant
way in the early period; promoting blood circulation and removing obstruction in
channels together with recuperating blood and expelling toxins in the middle
period; in the later period, expelling toxins, consolidating and protecting the
stomach and dealing with various complications well. For more information,
