WHAT IS DIABETIC NEPHROPATHY?
Diabetic nephropathy Kidney disease from long-standing diabetes. Diabetes affects the tiny blood
vessels in the glomerulus, a key structure in the kidney composed of capillary blood vessels. This structure
is critical for blood filtration. Features of diabetic nephrotic syndrome, which is characterized by excessive
protein in the urine, high blood pressure, and progressively impaired kidney function. With severe diabetic
nephropathy, kidney failure, end-stage renal disease requiring kidney dialysis or a kidney transplant may
result. Also known as intercapillary glomerulonephritis, Kimmelstiel-Wilson disease, and Kimmelstiel
Wilson syndrome.
Diabetic nephropathy is also called Diabetic kidney disease, Chronic Kidney Disease, or Kidney disease or
Diabetes.
Diabetes results in high blood sugar levels. Overtime, these high glucose levels can damage various areas of
the body, including the cardiovascular system and kidneys.
Diabetic nephropathy is a major cause of long-term kidney disease and end-stage renal disease (ESDR).
When a person has diabetes, whether type 1 or type 2 or gestational diabetes, their body cannot use or
produce insulin as it should.
CAUSES:
Damage to the kidneys puts stress on these vital organs & prevents them
from working properly.
When this happens:
The body starts to lose protein through the urine.
The kidneys cannot remove waste products from the blood.
The kidneys cannot maintain healthy fluid levels in the body.
RISK FACTORS:
• Smoking
• Age
• Sex
• Races
SYMPTOMS AND STAGES
Stages:
Stage 1:
Kidney damage present but normal kidney function and a GFR of 90% or above.
No Symptoms
Stage 2:
Kidney damage with some loss of function and a GFR of 60-89%.
Usually No Symptoms
Stage 3:
Mild to severe loss of function and a GFR of 30-59%.
Symptoms: Fatigue, Swelling, Frequent urination
Stage 4:
Stage 5:
Blood test. If you have diabetes, you will need blood tests to monitor your
condition & determine how well your kidneys are working.
Urine test. Urine samples provide information about your kidney functions and
whether you have too much protein in the urine. High levels of protein called
microalbumin may indicate your kidneys are being affected by disease.
Imaging test. Your doctor may use X-rays and Ultrasound to assess your
kidneys structure and size.
Renal function testing. Assess your kidneys filtering capacity using renal dialysis
testing.
Kidney biopsy. Your doctor may recommend a kidney biopsy to remove a
sample of the kidney tissue.
Treatment:
Medication:
Control high blood pressure. Medications called angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors
and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBS) are used to treat high blood pressure.
Manage high blood sugar. Several medications have been shown to help control high blood sugar
in people with diabetic nephropathy.
Foster bone health. Medications can often or help manage your calcium phosphate balance.
Control protein in urine. Medications can often reduce the level of the protein albumin in the
urine and improve kidney function.
Late stage treatment option:
1. Kidney dialysis. Is a procedure that typically uses a machine to separate waste products from the
blood and remove them from the body.
Types of dialysis
Hemodialysis: A medical procedure to remove fluid and waste products from the
blood and to correct electrolyte imbalances.
This is accomplished using a machine and a dialyzer, also referred to as an “artificial kidney”
Hemodialysis is used to treat both acute (temporary) and chronic (permanent) kidney
failure.
Peritoneal dialysis. Is a treatment that uses the lining of your abdomen (belly area),
called your peritoneum, and a cleaning solution called dialysate to clean your blood.
Dialysate absorbs waste and fluid from your blood, using your peritoneum as a
filter.
2. Kidney transplant. A kidney transplant if diabetic nephropathy reaches the final stage and if a
suitable donor can provide a kidney.

VI. 13 AREAS OF ASSESSMENT
13 AREAS OF ASSESSMENT
I. Social Status
Mrs. L is a 55 years old female client, born on July 7, 1964 and is currently residing at Mobo,
Masbate. She lives her husband and she have five (5) children; two (2) sons, and three (3) daughters.
During our assessment her husband and daughter accompanied her in the hospital. Her husband is
approachable and friendly whenever we asked his attention.
During our assessment of her capillary refill, her nail beds returned to its
original color after four (3) seconds.
Upon our assessment the data given above shows that Mrs. L’s pulse rate is in
normal range. On July 23 and 24 the blood pressure of our client is below normal an
interpretation of below normal while on July 25 her blood pressure is above normal
an interpretation of hypertension. Her capillary refill is not normal.
IX. Nutritional Status
Before hospitalization, Mrs. L usually prefer to eat fish, meat and sometimes vegetable. She eats two
(2) whole meals per day (skip either breakfast or dinner). During admission, Mrs. L eats three (3)
meals “lugaw kag sabaw”. Patients verbalized “permi ako ginagutom”. She drinks six (6) to seven (7)
glasses a day.
X. Elimination Status
Before hospitalization, Mrs. L usually defecate three times (3x) a week and she said, “itom
an akon udo”. During admission and during our assessment she did not defecate since she
admit.
The clients had a catheter with six hundred (600) cc per hr and the color of the urine is
dark yellow.
XI. Reproductive Status
Mrs. L verbalized “45 years old nag udong an akon regla”.
XII. Sleep-Rest-Pattern
Mrs L before her hospitalization stated that she sleeps almost 6-7 hours a day. But during
hospitalization her sleeping pattern has been change she stated due to environmental
factor.
The cortex and medulla make up two of the internal layers of a kidney and are composed of
individual filtering units known as nephrons.
Supply of Blood and Nerves to the Kidneys
The renal veins drain the kidney and the renal arteries supply blood to the kidney.
Because the kidney filters blood, its network of blood vessels is an important component of its
structure and function. The arteries, veins, and nerves that supply the kidney enter and exit at the
renal hilum.
Renal Artery
These arise off the side of the abdominal aorta, immediately below the superior mesenteric artery,
and supply the kidneys with blood. The renal arteries split into several segmental arteries upon
entering the kidneys, which then split into several arterioles.
These afferent arterioles branch into the glomerular capillaries, which facilitate fluid transfer to
the nephrons inside the Bowman’s capsule, while efferent arterioles take blood away from the
glomerulus, and into the interlobular capillaries, which provide tissue oxygenation to the
parenchyma of the kidney.
Renal Vein
The renal veins are the veins that drain the kidneys and connect them to the inferior vena cava.
The renal vein drains blood from venules that arise from the interlobular capillaries inside the
parenchyma of the kidney.
Renal Plexus
The renal plexus is the source of nervous tissue innervation within the kidney, which
surround and primarily alter the size of the arterioles within the renal cortex. Input from
the sympathetic nervous system triggers vasoconstriction of the arterioles in the kidney,
thereby reducing renal blood flow into the glomerulus.
The kidney also receives input from the parasympathetic nervous system, by way of the
renal branches of the vagus nerve (cranial nerve X), which causes vasodilation and
increased blood flow of the afferent arterioles. Due to this mechanism, sympathetic
nervous stimulation will decrease urine production, while parasympathetic nervous
stimulation will increase urine production.
A Nephron
A nephron is the basic structural and functional unit of the kidneys that regulates water
and soluble substances in the blood by filtering the blood, reabsorbing what is needed, and
excreting the rest as urine. Its function is vital for homeostasis of blood volume, blood
pressure, and plasma osmolarity. It is regulated by the neuroendocrine system by
hormones such as antidiuretic hormone, aldosterone, and parathyroid hormone.
The Glomerulus
The glomerulus is a capillary tuft that receives its blood supply from an afferent arteriole
of the renal circulation. Here, fluid and solutes are filtered out of the blood and into the
space made by Bowman’s capsule.

EXERCISE
• Explain to patient the significance of regular exercise like walking and stretching.
If unable to mobilize alone, instruct the watcher to give assistance all the time.
Stretching upper extremities also promote healthy living.
• Exercise (brisk walking, swimming, or jogging).
TREATMENT
• Instruct patient to comply with her medication treatment like the
continuous use Insulin for diabetes mellitus.
• Advise to have a family member take your blood pressure to check if
you’re maintaining a stable blood pressure.
• Since the client has her own glucose monitor, tell client to continue
monitoring blood glucose level, and immediately seek for medical help if
level is abnormally high.
• Tell the patient when and how to take blood glucose-lowering
medications, including method of administration.
HEALTH TEACHING
• Instruct patient to practice foot care to prevent ulceration and formation of gangrenous
tissues to the lower extremities.
• Soak your feet in warm soapy water for 10 minutes before cutting your nails. Trim your
toenails straight across to prevent ingrown toenails.You may also file down your toenails.
Do not cut your nails into the corners or close.
• Educate the client on proper use and disposal of needles and syringes.
OUTPATIENT
• Advise to have follow up check-ups after discharge.
• Advise to have regular laboratory exams for creatinine, albumin, sodium, potassium and
calcium.
DIET
• Encourage patient to eat fibrous foods like fruits and vegetables. But do
not eat too much as it can irritate the GI tract and causes bleeding.
Other examples of sources of fiber are: Beans, carrots, whole
grains or brown Rice and cereals
• Instruct patient’s family to prepare foods low in fat and cholesterol. Also
have moderate amount of sodium in the diet.
SPIRITUALITY
• Encourage patients that despite the challenges be encountering in life,
God has not yet forgotten.
