Learn about how diabetes can potentially cause kidney complications that deteriorate the ability for kidneys to filter blood waste.
Diabetic Kidney ComplicationsAvoiding Diabetic Kidney Complications - With millions of tiny blood vessels acting as filters, your kidneys do a remarkable job of removing waste products from your blood. Unfortunately, diabetes can damage this delicate filtration system - causing diabetic kidney complications and even diabetes kidney failure. Diabetic Kidney Complications - The kidneys are organs that act as a filtration system for the blood. They utilize a system of millions of blood vessels to remove waste particles from the blood. Without the kidneys, levels of toxic waste products accumulate to dangerous levels and can cause very serious health problems. Diabetes accounts for approximately 44% of kidney failure in the United States. Diabetic kidney complications are the result of unregulated blood sugar levels that over time deteriorate the ability for kidneys to filter waste. |
