What are the symptoms of diabetic nephropathy?

When the kidney begins to develop no symptoms. However, when more advanced kidney function is impaired may occur:

- Tiredness

- Nausea and vomiting

- Itching in the skin

- Metallic taste in mouth

- Heartburn

- Edema (fluid retention) in the legs or eyelids.

- Measure the amount of protein (albumin) in urine once a year.

- Having a good control of blood pressure.
