Diabetic Kidney Disease
Specialized care for diabetes-related kidney conditions.
Diabetic kidney disease (diabetic nephropathy) is a complication of diabetes that affects the kidneys. High blood sugar levels over time damage the filtering units in the kidneys, leading to proteinuria and progressive kidney function decline.
