Do you heard of diabetic chronic kidney disease? This article will tell you.
As we all know, diabetic is a common reasons for chronic kidney disease,
especially in American.
In American, diabetes affects nearly 24 million people in the United States,
or 7.8% of the population.
1. The prevalence of diabetes is expected to increase 165% between 2000 and
2050.
2 Diabetes is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), accounting
for 44% of new cases of kidney failure in the United States in 2005.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD), defined as a glomerular filtration rate (GFR)
of less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 for three months or longer, is also on the rise,
currently affecting more than 26 million Americans, or 13% of the adult
population. Its increase is partially due to the increased incidence of diabetes
and the population of people with long-standing diabetes.
Diabetic kidney disease” (DKD) as a nonproteinuric designation of CKD in type
1 or type 2 diabetes.1 DKD will occur in 30–40% of people with diabetes, and
one-third of these individuals may develop kidney failure. DKD occurs in
patients with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes; however, patients with type 2
diabetes often present with a mixed picture of atherosclerotic renal changes
coincident with diabetic histological findings. Judgment of whether hypertension
or diabetes is the dominant lesion, in the absence of a kidney biopsy, is
typically predicated on whether a renal ultrasonogram depicts small or
normal-to-large kidneys. In the former instance, hypertensive angiosclerosis is
considered causative, whereas the latter circumstance coincides with DKD,
irrespective of the level of proteinuria.
Diabetic Kidney Disease Stage 3 is the result of the diabetes and
chronic kidney disease. It is a very complexes condition. For diabetic kidney
disease patients, naturally ways to improve the condition are reasonable diet
and excise, of course, the most important is effective treatment, such as
Immunotherapy therapy.
