Raising Awareness on How Diabetes Can Lead to Kidney Disease and the Importance of Early Intervention

SAN ANTONIO, TX, UNITED STATES, November 18, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- This November, Kidney Hypertension & Transplant Specialists are joining the national conversation for Diabetes Awareness Month to highlight the critical connection between diabetes and kidney health. As one of the leading causes of kidney disease, diabetes can lead to severe complications over time if not carefully managed. Kidney Hypertension & Transplant Specialists emphasize the importance of early awareness, education, and proactive care in reducing the risk of kidney complications related to diabetes.

Diabetes, particularly when blood sugar levels are consistently elevated, can damage the blood vessels in the kidneys. This damage impairs the kidneys' ability to filter waste and excess fluid, which can lead to a progressive condition known as diabetic kidney disease or diabetic nephropathy. In the U.S., nearly one in three adults with diabetes may develop kidney disease, underscoring the urgent need for diabetic patients to monitor and prioritize their kidney health.

"Managing diabetes and maintaining healthy kidney function go hand-in-hand," says Robert Szewc, MD FASN, Kidney Hypertension & Transplant Specialists President and CEO. "With the right care plan, individuals can protect their kidney health and improve their overall quality of life. Regular screenings and a proactive approach are key components in early intervention."
