Diabetes and Kidney Disease Treatment in China

Kidney disease can be one kind of common complications of diabetes. And in the clinic, patients with diabetic nephropathy usually begin dialysis treatment earlier than those with other types of kidney diseases when conditions develop kidney failure. Here we will talk about diabetes and kidney disease treatment in China which can help patients avoid dialysis effectively.

Control blood sugar

At the early stage of diabetic nephropathy, patients had better take gliguidone 30~60mg/d, 2~3 times per day; Minidiab 2.5~10mg/d, 1~2 times per day, Diamicron 40~320mg/d, 1~2 times per day. Those medications mentioned above should be taken half an hour before meals. However, to those patients whose GFR level is less than 30%, those medications are forbidden. To those patients with type 1 diabetes and clinical diabetic nephropathy stage or end-stage renal disease, insulin treatment seems to be necessary.

Control blood pressure and reduce proteinuria

When protein in urine is less than 1.0g/d, blood pressure should be controlled into 130/80mmHg; protein in urine is more than 1.0g/d, the goal should be 125/75mmHg. ACEI and ARB will be firstly used, at the same time, mild natriuresis will support it.
