What are the complications of diabetes? |
1.Diabetic nephropathy
It is one of the most important complications of diabetes patients. The incidence rate in China is also on the rise, and it has become the second cause of end-stage renal disease, second only to various glomerulonephritis. Due to the complex metabolic disorders, once developed into end-stage renal disease, it is often more difficult to treat than other kidney diseases. However, active and appropriate interventions can significantly reduce and delay the occurrence of diabetic nephropathy, especially in the early stage of the disease.
2. Diabetic eye complications
(1) Diabetic retinopathy is the most important manifestation of diabetic microangiopathy. It is a fundus lesion with specific changes and is one of the serious complications of diabetes. Clinically, according to the presence or absence of retinal neovascularization, diabetic retinopathy without retinal neovascularization is called non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (or simple or background type), and there will be diabetes with retinal neovascularization. Retinopathy is called proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
