Microalbuminuria May be a sign of Kidney Damage in Diabetes

Long time high blood glucose in diabetes patients will lead to the dense of blood, which blocks the blood circulation especially the micro-blood circulation including micro-blood circulation in the kidney, which leads to the insufficiency of blood and oxygen in the kidney, thus causing kidney damage if it lasts for a long time.
Generally after about 10 years or more, diabetes patients may find out that there is protein in urine, (the urine has foam, which does not appear for a long time) and went to hospital, then are told that that there has been damage in the kidney which is called diabetic kidney disease or diabetic nephropathy. In this case, GFR has declined and serum creatinine has already risen, which means that the damage in the kidney has already relatively serious.
In contrast, microalbumin in urine is an index which indicates the damage in the kidney earlier. In normal condition, there is only a slight amount of albumin in urine which is less than 20mg/L in a day. When the albumin level is above the normal range, the urine is called microalbuminuria which is a sensitive index in reflecting early kidney damage in Diabetes. Therefore, besides monitoring blood sugar, blood pressure, the patients should be particularly alert to the albumin in urine so as to find out the damage early and take treatment in time.
Even that there is damage in the kidney, diabetes patients should not panic for there is therapy can help you recover. Stem cell is considered to be the priority in the world till now which can treat both diabetes and kidney disorder. After stem cells are injected into patients’ body, they will differentiate like seed, which will grow in kinds of tissues. A certain amount of autologous stem cell will differentiate into cells which can replace the damaged pancreas islet B cells and secrete insulin once again, thus treating diabetes. It can also differentiate into kidney cells which has been necrotic thus treating kidney damage.
