Question 7

could you describe how the chronic kidney disease secondary to diabetes mellitus works?

Accepted Answer

Process: It progressively worsens the kidneys.  Starts out by ruining different filters, first more urine, then start peeing proteins called albumins. This stage is called 'microalbuminuria'. As diabetic nephropathy progresses, increasing numbers of glomeruli are destroyed.
All this happens throughout the years.
