Diabetes and Kidney Care
Diabetes can damage the kidneys before symptoms appear. This service assesses urine albumin and kidney function and brings kidney protection into your diabetes care.
Your Clinical Care Pathway
We review glucose readings, HbA1c, blood pressure, urine albumin and medicines.
Treatment may include medicines that protect the kidneys and heart when suitable, alongside nutrition and glucose management.
Additional investigations may be needed when the pattern is unusual for diabetes.
Expected benefits and limitations
Treatment aims to reduce urine albumin and the risk of kidney and cardiovascular complications. Benefits vary with disease stage and treatment tolerance. Kidney protection is important even when glucose readings are satisfactory.
Clinical Preparation Checklist
Ensure safety by confirming these items before arriving at our medical center.
Frequently Asked Questions
Integrated Diabetes and Kidney Program
This program connects diabetes and kidney treatment within one shared plan, particularly when several clinicians are involved.
What to expect
The team reconciles glucose, blood pressure and kidney goals, reviews medicine compatibility and arranges relevant nutrition or specialist input.
How to prepare
- Bring the treatment plans from your diabetes, kidney and heart clinicians and your home records.
Expected benefits and limitations
The intended benefit is coordinated care with fewer conflicting instructions. Targets and medicines remain individualized.
Seek immediate urgent care or report to our dialysis unit if you experience:
Severe hypoglycemia or acute illness needs urgent care rather than routine coordination.
Is this separate from the diabetic kidney clinic?
It is a coordinated care pathway within that service, not a duplicate set of tests.
