Methods of Treatment of Diabetic Nephropathy

Nephropathy is not only one of the diabetic microvascular complications, but also a significant cause of death. In real life, people always feel helpless in the face of diabetes and kidney disease. In fact, effective measures can be taken to slow the progression of this disorder.

And the following methods of treating diabetic nephropathy.

1. Control the blood sugar level strictly. At an early stage of diabetes, an insulin pump or several subcutaneous injections of insulin can help maintain blood sugar levels at a normal level. They can also delay or even prevent the onset and progression of diabetic nephropathy, reduce the increased rate of glomerular filtration and improve microalbuminuria.

2. Another way is to keep blood pressure under control (under 130/80). A blood pressure medication, such as angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers, may be the main drug. Other antihypertensive drugs, such as diuretics, methyldopa, clonidine, etc., are also effective.

3. Limit protein intake. Reducing the amount of protein in the diet can reduce the internal pressure of the glomeruli. On the contrary, a high protein diet can aggravate the pathological changes of the glomerular.

4. Dialysis and kidney transplant. As kidney failure occurs, dialysis and kidney transplantation are effective methods. For patients older than 65 years, the effect is not very good.

5. Osmotherapy of micro-Chinese medicine. This therapy was created at the Shijiazhuang Nephropathy Hospital. It is one of the traditional Chinese medicine.
