World Kidney Day: Kidney issues those with diabetes are prone to | Lifestyle – Times of India Videos

Individuals with diabetes are at increased risk of developing kidney problems, known as diabetic nephropathy or diabetic kidney disease. This condition occurs due to long-term high blood sugar levels damaging the kidneys’ small blood vessels and impairing their ability to filter waste from the blood effectively. Over time, diabetic kidney disease can progress to kidney failure, necessitating dialysis or kidney transplantation for management. Tight blood sugar control and regular monitoring are essential for prevention and early intervention. In this video, Dr Vikas Jain, Director & Unit Head, Department of Urology, Uro-oncology & Renal Transplantation, Fortis Hospital, Shalimar Bagh explains the different kidney issues diabetes patients are prone to.
