Usually, the time of survival of diabetic patients with edema and bad kidney is related to the cause of the onset of the patient, their own condition, and the severity of the disease, and can not be generalized.
Diabetic nephropathy: diabetes mellitus with poor long-term glycemic control can lead to diabetic nephropathy. In general, the earlier the diagnosis and treatment, the better the prognosis for patients. If not treated in time may kidney function creatinine progressive increase, eventually lead to uremia, cardiac insufficiency, there will be edema manifestation, the need for hemodialysis treatment, the prognosis may not be good.
Nephrotic syndrome: its prognosis is mainly based on the type of pathology, tiny lesion type or mild glomerular mesangial hyperplasia type, these two types of glucocorticoid drug treatment will be more effective, after regular treatment, the general prognosis is better. Capillary hyperplasia glomerulonephritis and membranous nephropathy glomerulonephritis are not very effective in treatment and have a relatively poor prognosis.
The survival time of diabetic patients is related to many factors and it is impossible to make accurate judgment. It is recommended that the patients actively receive treatment under the guidance of the doctor, actively control blood glucose, and delay the development of complications in order to prolong the survival time and improve the quality of life.
