Therapeutic Principles of Diabetic Nephropathy

Diabetic Nephropathy is a life-threatening complication of Diabetes. It is a risk factor of Renal Failure for patients with Diabetes. Therefore, it is very important for patients to adopt proper therapeutic principle.

1. Keep a low protein diet

Low protein diet can alleviate the glomerular hyperperfusion thus declining proteinuria and preserve the renal function.

2.Control blood sugar

The patients with Diabetic Nephropathy should control their blood sugar effectively so as to alleviate the glomerular hyperfusion and decline the chance of urinary tract infection that can damage renal function. The priorityoral hypoglycimic agent is gliquidone. It is metabolized mainly by liver and less than 5% is discharged by kidneys. Therefore, it only has mild damage to kidneys.

3.Keep blood pressure within normal range

High blood pressure can accelerate Diabetic Nephropathy progression. In the early time, If the patients can control their blood pressure effectively, it can decline the execration of protein in urine and delay glomerular filtration rate from decreasing.Use medicines with antiplatele and improving blood circulation t function

4.Therapies for patients with Diabetic Nephropathy

In the conventional therapies, the patients receive dialysis to maintain their lives when the disease develops into End Stage Renal Failure. For patients with Diabetic Nephropathy should begin dialysis earlier than those caused by other renal disease.

When the patients with Diabetic Nephropathy nearly or totally lose their renal function, if possible, all patients will receive kidney transplant to substitute their natural kidneys. However, as the high blood sugar and a series of complications of Diabetes can increase the risk of operation of kidney transplant. Moreover, as the patients have both renal damage and Diabetes, they should choose a therapy that is effective to both of them. Immunotherapy brings endless hope for the effective treatment of Diabetic Nephropathy. Immunotherapys are undifferentiated original cells. After they are infused into body through vein, they can differentiate into the damaged renal intrinsic cells and the islet cells to play their roles. Therefore, the patients can get a better therapeutic result.
