Research Notes on Diabetic Nephropathy Symptoms
Unfortunately, there are no symptoms of diabetic nephropathy while the disease is in its early stages.1 As the disease progresses, however, symptoms such as fatigue, headache, foaming urine, nausea, and lack of appetite typically appear.2 Swelling and weight gain (from excessive fluids) usually do not appear until the disease is in later stages.2
Fast Facts:
- As damage to the kidneys becomes more severe, blood sugar levels may drop.1
- High blood pressure and an excessive amount of protein in the urine may be noted during routine physicians visits.1
- Frequent hiccups, increased itching, and an overall feeling of being ill are also potential symptoms of diabetic nephropathy.2
