Diabetes Patients Have Higher Risk for Kidney Disease

Have you ever wondered why diabetes patients have a higher chance of developing kidney disease?  The answer lies in the blood vessels of the body.  When someone has diabetes, the small blood vessels in the body are injured.  One of the functions of a kidney is to keep the blood in our body clean.  As a result, when someone has diabetes, they have a much higher chance for the small blood vessels in their kidney to become injured.  Thus causing problems with the kidney’s ability to clean the blood properly, according to the National Kidney Foundation.  In addition, symptoms of kidney disease such as ankle swelling, and weight gain can be attributed to the inability to get rid of salt and water due to the damage done by diabetes to the kidney.
