Diabetic nephropathy is a kidney disease that can develop after several years of diabetes mellitus. Increased blood sugar levels can damage the small blood vessels in the renal corpuscles and thus contribute to reduced blood flow and kidney function. Diabetic kidney disease is often only recognized at an advanced stage. Increased protein excretion in the urine can be an initial sign of possible kidney disease.
