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.
