Throughout its early course, diabetic nephropathy has no symptoms. They develop in late stages and may be a result of excretion of high amounts of protein in the urine or due to renal failure:
edema: swelling, usually around the eyes in the mornings; later, general body swelling may result, such as swelling of the legs
foamy appearance or excessive frothing of the urine (caused by the proteinuria)
unintentional weight gain (from fluid accumulation)
anorexia (poor appetite)
nausea and vomiting
malaise (general ill feeling)
fatigue
headache
frequent hiccups
Why people occur Foamy Urine in Diabetic Kidney Disease
The tiny nephrons in kidneys are in charge of filtering metabolic wastes from blood by producing urine. Meanwhile, while filtering blood, the kidneys can separate the wastes from useful materials such as protein and preserve the useful substances in body. However, in Diabetes, the high blood glucose can render the nephons to work harder to finish their job. Over time, the excessive workload can exhaust the nephrons, thus leading to renal function decline.
When the nephrons fail to work adequately, the proteins will pass through the filteration membrane in kidney and end up in urine. In early stage of Diabetes Kidney Disease, the patients only present with a small amount of protein in urine called microalbumin without causing other complaints. When the protein loss in urine evaluate into heavy protein, there will be foams in urine, called foamy urine. It often appears along with swelling in legs and feet.
The protein loss in urine can lower the plasma oncotic pressure, thus the fluid in blood vessels will infilter into tissues to keep the pressure balance. For systemic circulation and gravity, the swelling usually occurs in the lower part of body like swelling in legs and feet.
Additionally, the retention of fluid and sodium also can worsen the swelling for people with Diabetes.
Once foamy urine and serious swelling occur, it suggest that Diabetes Kidney Disease at least has developed into stage 3. Without timely treatment, End Stage Renal Failure will be an inevitable result.
