Diabetes and kidney disease share a close connection, with diabetes being a leading cause of kidney problems, particularly through a condition called diabetic nephropathy. Elevated blood sugar levels can harm the kidneys’ blood vessels, leading to protein leakage and kidney damage. This link significantly increases the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD), often culminating in end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Effective management of blood glucose levels and blood pressure is pivotal in mitigating the impact of diabetes on kidney health. Regular kidney function monitoring, including tests for creatinine and glomerular filtration rate (GFR), is crucial for early detection and intervention.
