If you have diabetes and CKD, you’re definitely not alone – about 1 in 3 American adults with diabetes also has CKD.

Over time, high blood sugar from diabetes can damage blood vessels in the kidneys as well as nephrons, so they don’t work as well as they should. Many people with diabetes also develop high blood pressure, which can damage kidneys too.

Diabetes and Your Kidneys

You have two kidneys —each is about the size of a fist. Kidneys clean waste from your blood. Over time, having high blood sugar from diabetes can cause damage to your kidneys. As a result, they filter out some good things along with waste. As more damage happens, kidneys will have less function, and waste will build up. This is known as chronic kidney disease (CKD). Diabetes is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease
