People with diabetes have high glycemia which makes the kidneys weak and prone to damage hence there is a direct relation between diabetes and kidney disease.

Dr. Yusuf Suggests...

Take a URINE FOR FAT GLOBULES Test or Take a NT Pro BNP Test (N - Terminal Pro Brain Natriuretic Peptide) Test

Book URINE FOR FAT GLOBULES Test Book NT Pro BNP Test (N - Terminal Pro Brain Natriuretic Peptide) Test
