Diabetic nephropathy
Know Your Surgery
It is a type of kidney disease that results from long-term diabetes, particularly type 1 and type 2 diabetes. It is one of the most common causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and can progress to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) if not managed effectively. Diabetic nephropathy occurs due to damage to the small blood vessels in the kidneys caused by high blood sugar levels over time.
