Recurrent Urinary Tract Infection and Diabetic Nephropathy

When diabetes attacks kidney filtering system, diabetic kidney disease, or Diabetic Nephropathy, will happen. People with diabetes are vulnerable to recurrent urinary tract infections (UTI), so are diabetic nephropathy patients.

Generally, microalbuminuria or proteinuria is the first sign of Diabetic Nephropathy. Along with the protein leakage, some immunogobulin also leaks out of the body, resulting in low immunity and urinary tract infections easily.

If diabetes is uncontrolled very well, some sugar will leak into urinary tract that can provide a good environment for the growth of bacteria. Therefore, this is another reason for urinary tract infections.

2. Use antibiotics prudently: Some antibiotics have renal toxicity, so diabetic nephropathy patients are not recommended to take antibiotics unless their urinary tract infection is severe.

3. Avoid excessive sexual life: Excessive sexual life will increase the risk of urinary tract infections and worsen patients’ UTI easily.

4. Control diabetes tightly: High blood sugar is the underlying cause of many complications for diabetic nephropathy patients, so patients should take correct medications such as insulin and Tang Yikang to manage their blood sugar well.

5. Repair damaged kidney filters: Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and Clear Blood Pollution Therapy are two effective treatments that can restore impaired kidney cells and improve patients’ kidney function effectively. As long as kidneys play their filtration function normally, proteinuria will disappear. Finally, recurrent urinary traction infections are also curbed.
