Case Summary

Diabetes contributes to renal decline through mechanisms that damage kidney function, leading to proteinuria. Management involves a comprehensive approach, including a detailed medical history, assessment of HbA1c levels, renal function tests, and kidney imaging. Control of blood glucose is crucial.
