What causes glomerular damage?
glomerular disease (Diabetic risk factors)
In easy terms, I tell my patients that having extra blood sugar in
the blood vessels is like tiny glass shards running through
cutting the vessels—doing damage along the way
....of course it is not really glass but patients get the picture a bit
more when telling them that glucose is doing damage
High blood glucose (extra sugar) in the kidneys increases
filtration pressure and damages glomerular membrane
Renal blood flow Increases, then so does the filtration pressure..
Remember the patient also most likely has HTN too. Blood
vessels will thicken in the kidney, reducing function too.
