What symptom does albuminuria have?

The symptoms of diabetic nephropathy include proteinuria, edema, anemia, hypertension and renal failure. Proteinuria is an important indicator for the diagnosis of nephropathy. Proteinuria accounts for 4.9% ~ 10% of diabetic patients. The course of disease was shorter than 10 years, proteinuria accounted for 1% ~ 3%; The course of disease was longer than 20 years, proteinuria accounted for 12.8%; The course of disease was longer than 35 years, proteinuria accounted for 62%.

The symptom of early diabetic nephropathy is no edema, with the increase of urinary protein, plasma protein decreased, edema. Edema mainly occurs in the face, lower limbs and ankles, waist and back, a few patients with rapid progress of the disease may have hypoproteinemia and systemic edema. After proteinuria, glomerular filtration rate decreased, renal function began to decline, urea nitrogen increased, azotemia appeared, and renal failure could develop. It has been reported that about 20% of the patients developed renal failure within 6 years, 50% within 10 years and 75% within 15 years after proteinuria. The average survival time was about 15 years.

The symptoms of diabetic nephropathy may also have mild to moderate anemia, which is caused by the disorder of erythropoiesis caused by azotemia. Long term proteinuria can be hypertension, and can aggravate the disease, make it worse.
