Diabetes and Chronic Kidney Disease: Everything You Need to Know

Unfortunately, chronic kidney disease is a global issue and it is affecting individuals globally. And unmanaged diabetes is one of the primary reasons for having this disorder. Plus, a study suggests that more than 50% of individuals having diabetes are experiencing diabetes. Even in some cases, kidney patients will experience both diabetes and high blood pressure.

In this blog, we will tell you how chronic kidney disease can have an impact on the life of the people with diabetes, and how it can be avoided by herbal medicines without dialysis. We will try to explain the relationship between CKD and diabetes.

What is chronic kidney disease?

Chronic kidney disease is the chronic condition of your kidneys, it means your kidneys are damaged and can’t filter the blood the way they should do. Doctors consider it a chronic disease because it occurs slowly over a long period. The damage done due to this disorder can lead to the build-up in the body. It was also responsible for other health-related disorders.

Every year, millions of individuals get diagnosed with kidney disorders, and the numbers are increasing every year constantly. CKD doesn’t affect anyone instantly; it affects the kidneys in five main stages that are:
  • Stage 1 – Average GFR (GFR > 90 mL/min)
  • Stage 2 – Mild CKD and GFR ranges between 60-89 mL/min
  • Stage 3 – Moderate CKD with GFR ranges from 30-59 mL/min
  • Stage 4 – Severe CKD with GFR ranges from 15-29 mL/min
  • Stage 5 – End Stage CKD with GFR less than 15 mL/min

What is the relationship between chronic kidney disease and diabetes?

Kidney patients with diabetes can be referred to as diabetic kidney disease. In chronic kidney disease, the frequency of the urine decreases, and the level of wastes in the blood increases that can prove fatal for the kidneys. Creatinine, urea, and excess fluid are the wastes that present inside your blood during chronic kidney disease. Blood and protein loss is the common sign of having kidney disease.

There are two types of diabetic kidney disease. Usually, the type is related to the amount of protein found in your urine. The two types of diabetic kidney disease are:
  • Microalbuminuria – It is also known as nephropathy and it means the amount of urine that ends up in the urine. If not get a specific treatment, it progresses to macroalbuminuria. You can manage this health condition with the help of Ayurvedic treatment for the kidneys.
  • Macroalbuminuria – It is also known as proteinuria or nephropathy. It is the amount of protein that ends up in the urine and it should be less than 300 mg/day. According to the allopathic doctors, this condition is irreversible and will progress to end-stage renal disease.
During chronic kidney disease, the fluid level in the body increases that is responsible for the swelling in most of the body organs. When the kidneys are not working properly, they are not able to regulate the blood pressure level effectively, and high blood pressure also affects the kidneys. Due to this disorder the acid levels in the bloodstream rise along with potassium and phosphorus levels.

In the majority of the cases, the CKD patients have low blood calcium levels, and in that condition, the bone health suffers, and the patient will suffer from Anemia. These patients are also at a higher risk of developing cardiovascular disorder with renal failure. At the point when kidneys fail, doctors usually prefer dialysis for the treatment of this health condition.
