Diabetes and High Blood Pressure Can Lead to Kidney Failure
Anyone who has Diabetes or High Blood Pressure should be aware that these conditions can lead to chronic Kidney Disease, and even to kidney failure. In fact, Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure, and High Blood Pressure is the second leading cause. Diabetes and High Blood Pressure account for 70 percent of all cases of kidney failure in African Americans, and African Americans are four times more likely than whites to experience kidney failure.
The good news is that kidney failure doesn't happen overnight. Instead, it usually occurs only after Kidney Damage has taken place over years, or even decades. By taking some precautions and monitoring your health, you can greatly reduce your risk of kidney failure.
