Listen to

Diabetic Kidney Disease, or DKD, is one of the most common and severe complications of diabetes. Also known as diabetic nephropathy, DKD is a condition where high blood sugar levels damage the kidneys over time, leading to diabetic kidney disease. In fact, diabetes is the leading cause of kidney disease worldwide, and it affects millions of people. In this episode of the Diabetic Kidney Disease podcast, we will discuss an often-overlooked complication of diabetes—DKD. Early detection is critical because the earlier DKD is caught, the more you can do to slow its progression.


Join our PACE Hospitals Podcast episode with Dr A Kishore Kumar - Consultant Nephrologist and Kidney Transplant Physician at PACE Hospitals, Hitech City, Hyderabad, India, to explain what DKD is, its development, and steps for kidney health protection.
