E10.2: Type 1 diabetes mellitus with renal complications
Type 1 diabetes mellitus with renal complications is a multifaceted condition where the pancreas produces very little or no insulin, a hormone required to allow sugar to enter cells and produce energy. The lack of insulin turnout leads to a buildup of sugars in your bloodstream, leading to a lack of energy and potentially causing serious health problems. Medical conditions related to the kidneys are considered renal complications. When kidneys fail to filter waste products efficiently, it leads to a build-up in your blood, which can cause serious health problems. Symptoms may include frequent urination, thirst that is not easy to quench, hunger, fatigue, blurred vision, and weight loss. Over time, the increased blood sugar levels can damage various parts of the body, such as the heart, blood vessels, eyes, and kidneys, leading to complications like kidney damage or kidney failure.
