Diabetic kidney failure often leads to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications, resulting in a relatively poor prognosis. However, with effective blood glucose control and complication prevention, patients can generally survive for about 20 to 30 years.
Diabetic kidney failure usually progresses to uremia in approximately 10 years. With renal replacement therapy such as hemodialysis, survival can be extended for about 10 to 20 years.
For diabetic kidney failure, timely and stable blood pressure control, anticoagulation therapy, and medications to reduce creatinine levels are required to delay the deterioration of renal function.
