Diabetic glomerulosclerosis is a medical condition that affects the kidneys of people with diabetes. It results in scarring of the glomeruli, the tiny blood vessels that filter waste products from the blood. This condition often leads to kidney damage and eventual kidney failure. There are several other terms that are commonly used as synonyms for diabetic glomerulosclerosis, such as diabetic nephropathy, diabetic kidney disease, and diabetic renal disease. These terms all refer to the same condition and are used interchangeably by medical professionals. It is important for people with diabetes to maintain good blood sugar control and regular check-ups with a physician to monitor for any signs of kidney damage.
