Diabetic Nephropathy is a Chronic Kidney Disease which is caused by Diabetes.
Diabetic Nephropathy is one of the most frequent and dangerous complications of
Diabetes. This disease is featured by slow development and without obvious
symptoms in the process of attacking. The first phase of the disease does not
cause any discomfort, so often a doctor has already treated in the last stages
of Diabetic Nephropathy, it is more dangerous for patients in the last stages.
Therefore, timely investigate and detect of early signs of Diabetic Nephropathy
is an so important task.
Teach you how to distinguish five main stages of Diabetic Nephropathy：
Stage 1 – The early stage of Diabetes
This stage is characterized by an increase in GFR (Glomerular Filtration
Rate) of more than 140 ml / min, an increase in renal blood flow.
Stage 2 – the onset of Diabetes is no more than 5 years.
In this stage, renal tissues begin to present the initial change. This stage
is characterized by increasing GFR (Glomerular Filtration Rate) and thickening
of basement membranes.
Stage 3 – The Diabetes history is between 5-15 years.
This state is characterized by periodicity high blood pressure or normal
GFR.
Sage 4 –severe Diabetic Nephropathy
This stage is characterized by normal or reduced Glomerular Filtration Rate,
Hypertension and Proteinuria.
Stage 5– Uremia (Diabetes history is more than 20 years)
This stage is characterized by decreased Glomerular Filtration Rate, and
arterial hypertension. In this stage, the person present the symptoms of
intoxication.
It is very important to identify the development Diabetic Nephropathy in the
first three stages, when treatment is still possible to change. For more
