Can you get renal failure from being a diabetic?

In: Health [Edit categories]

Answer:

Absolutely. Renal refers to the kidneys, the kidney's function is to filter the blood of all toxins. A diabetic has too much sugar in their blood and the kidneys have to work harder then usual to filter the sugar out. In addition sugar makes the blood more viscous, syrup-like, which inhibits the transport of oxygen and nutrients to all organs including the kidneys.
