kidney diseaseThis first stage of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is called microalbuminuria. The kidney’s filtration function usually remains normal during this period. However, small amounts of albumin begin to leak into the urine.  As the disease progresses, larger quantities of albumin leak in to the urine. This stage is called macroalbuminuria or proteinuria. Slowly the kidneys’ filtering capacity begins to drop and the body begins to retain various waste products as filtration falls. As kidney damage develops further, the blood pressure rises and this further damages the kidney.  After months or years, the DKD may progress to end stage renal disease (ESRD), which requires a person to have a kidney transplant or regular dialysis.
