Diabetic nephropathy is kidney disease caused by type 1 or type 2 diabetes. When the glomeruli, small filters in the kidneys that carry excess fluid and waste from blood into the urine, are damaged as a complication of diabetes, this can cause kidney disease or failure. Symptoms include swelling, nausea, and fatigue.
