♥ Welcome To My BlogWhile diabetes affects many organs and systems in the body, one of its most important and potentially fatal target is the kidney.
When our blood sugar or glucose levels rise and our blood becomes more and more saturated with glucose, the glucose molecules will react with the proteins and lipids floating around them and set off a series of chemical reactions that can change the structure and function of proteins in the cells in our organs, as well as the cells lining our blood vessels and filtering units in the kidney.
Over time, these changes will damage the filtering units in our kidneys and they will slowly lose their function. Vital nutrients will be lost in the urine and waste products will start to collect in the blood, and if the kidney damage is left untreated, the kidneys may fail as a result.
That said, not all people with diabetes will develop kidney disease, said Dr Ghazali.
