Diabetes and kidney health are closely connected. Over time, consistently high blood sugar can damage the small blood vessels and filtering structures in the kidneys, increasing the risk of diabetic kidney disease and chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Kidney damage can develop gradually — sometimes before noticeable symptoms appear.

WARNING SIGNS TO WATCH FOR

• Swollen feet, ankles or legs
• Foamy or unusually frothy urine
• Persistent fatigue
• High blood pressure
• Changes in urination

If you have diabetes, regular kidney health assessments are important, even if you feel well. Early detection can help your healthcare team identify kidney problems sooner and manage risk factors appropriately.

DIABETES & KIDNEYS: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: Can diabetes cause kidney disease?
Yes. Diabetes is an important risk factor for chronic kidney disease because prolonged high blood sugar can damage the kidney's filtering system.

Q: How do I know if diabetes is affecting my kidneys?
Kidney disease may have few or no symptoms in its early stages. Blood and urine tests can help assess kidney function and detect signs of kidney damage.

Q: Does high blood pressure affect diabetic kidney disease?
Yes. High blood pressure can contribute to kidney damage and may accelerate the progression of kidney disease, particularly in people with diabetes.

Q: Can diabetic kidney disease be prevented or slowed down?
Early detection and appropriate management of blood sugar, blood pressure and other risk factors can help protect kidney health and may slow kidney disease progression.

Q: When should I see a nephrologist?
If you have diabetes and abnormal kidney test results, persistent high blood pressure, protein or albumin in your urine, or other concerns about kidney function, your doctor may recommend assessment by a nephrologist.
