Diabetic Kidney Disease

Diabetic kidney disease, also known as diabetic nephropathy, is a serious complication of diabetes that can lead to chronic kidney disease (CKD) and eventually end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Our services include:

  • Early Detection: Regular screenings using urine and blood tests, such as microalbuminuria and serum creatinine, to identify kidney damage early.

  • Personalized Treatment Plans: Tailored strategies to manage blood sugar levels through medications, insulin therapy, and lifestyle modifications to protect kidney function.

  • Patient Education: Comprehensive guidance on dietary changes, exercise, and self-management techniques to prevent further kidney damage and improve overall health.

Blood Pressure Related Kidney Disease

Hypertension (high blood pressure) is a leading cause of kidney disease and can significantly impact kidney function. Our approach includes:

  • 24-Hour Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring: Continuous monitoring to assess blood pressure patterns throughout the day and night, providing a detailed understanding of hypertension control.

  • Home Blood Pressure Monitoring: Training patients to accurately measure and record blood pressure at home, ensuring consistent readings.

  • Tailored Medication Plans: Custom medication regimens to control blood pressure and protect kidney health, including ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), diuretics, beta-blockers, and calcium channel blockers.

  • Lifestyle Modifications: Nutritional counseling, personalized exercise programs, and smoking cessation support to help patients achieve and maintain healthy blood pressure levels.
