Over time, high blood sugar from diabetes can damage blood vessels in the kidneys as well as nephrons so they do not work as well as they should. Many people with diabetes also develop high blood pressure, which can damage kidneys too

Dr. Ezhilarasan Suggests...

Take a PROTEIN ELECTROPHORESIS - SERUM Test or Take a FECAL IMMUNOCHEMICAL TEST (FIT) QUALITATIVE Test
