💔Diabetic nephropathy, a kidney disease caused by diabetes, can now be diagnosed using non-invasive markers.
👁The presence of diabetic retinopathy increases the likelihood of diabetic nephropathy.
🩺High A1C levels and long-term diabetes are risk factors for developing diabetic kidney disease.
What are the potential side effects of new diabetes medications?
—Side effects may include stomach paralysis, an increased risk of depression and suicide, and a small risk of thyroid cancer and pancreatitis.
How can diabetic nephropathy be diagnosed without a kidney biopsy?
—New research has identified non-invasive markers in urine tests that can help diagnose diabetic nephropathy.
Does the presence of diabetic retinopathy increase the risk of kidney disease?
—Yes, the presence of diabetic retinopathy indicates a higher likelihood of having diabetic nephropathy.
What are the risk factors for developing diabetic kidney disease?
—Having type 2 diabetes for more than five years, having a high A1C level, and being older are all risk factors.
