Hi Symptoms are frothy urine, increased urination mostly at night, swelling of the ankle and feet, puffiness of face, leg cramps, weakness, vomiting, low haemoglobin (anaemia), itching, High blood pressure. Urine microalbumin test, blood urea and serum creatinine are very useful in detecting diabetic kidney disease (Diabetic nephropathy).

Mr. lybrate-user, If diabetes is present for long time and if it is uncontrolled, then it rapidly affects kidney function. Mainly filtering membrane in the glomerulous is damaged. This leads first to increased microalbumin uria and later to macro or simple referred as albumin uria. Symptoms of diabetic kidney disease (albuminuria) are nonspecific and vague like feeling tired, less energetic, feeling of being unwell. With a much severe disease patient has loss of appetite.
