*🩺 Relationship Between Kidney Failure & Diabetes (Diabetic Nephropathy):* 1. *High Blood Sugar Damages Kidneys* - Over time, high glucose levels damage tiny blood vessels (glomeruli) in the kidneys. - This reduces the kidneys' ability to filter waste. 2. *Protein Leaks into Urine (Proteinuria)* - Early sign of diabetic kidney damage. - Healthy kidneys keep protein in the blood. 3. *Progressive Decline in Kidney Function* - Leads to *chronic kidney disease (CKD)* and can progress to *end-stage kidney failure* (ESKD). - May need dialysis or a kidney transplant. 4. *High Blood Pressure Worsens the Damage* - Diabetes often causes hypertension, which puts further strain on the kidneys. 5. *Prevention & Management:* - Control blood sugar and BP - Regular urine tests for protein - Use of kidney-protective drugs (e.g. ACE inhibitors) *🔗 Conclusion:* Diabetes is the *leading cause of kidney failure worldwide* — early control is key to prevention.

*💧 URINE FORMATION – HOW YOUR BODY MAKES PEE! 🚽🧠* *🔬 Takes place in the KIDNEYS – 3 main stages:* --- *1️⃣ FILTRATION (in the glomerulus):* • Blood enters the nephron • Waste, water, salts & small molecules are filtered from blood • Large proteins & cells stay in blood *➡️ What passes through becomes the *filtrate** --- *2️⃣ REABSORPTION (in the tubules):* • Useful substances like glucose, water, and salts are *reabsorbed* into the bloodstream • Body keeps what it needs --- *3️⃣ SECRETION:* • Additional wastes (e.g. urea, hydrogen ions) are *actively secreted* into the tubule • Helps maintain pH & electrolyte balance --- *🚰 Final product = URINE* • Water + urea + excess salts • Drains into bladder via ureters • Excreted through urethra --- *💡 Fun Fact:* Your kidneys filter about *50 gallons* of blood daily but only make about *1.5 liters* of urine! *Keep hydrated.
