Diabetic nephropathy, a complication of diabetes, typically presents with clinical manifestations of diabetes such as frequent urination, excessive thirst, increased appetite, and dry mouth. It may also cause kidney-related symptoms, including hypertension, renal insufficiency, edema, proteinuria, and hematuria. In the early stages,微量 proteinuria (small amounts of protein in the urine) may appear; later, it progresses to significant proteinuria. Severe cases can lead to chronic kidney failure and ultimately develop into uremia.
