Diabetes Complication Screening at SND Hospital
Managing diabetes is about more than just controlling sugar; it’s about protecting your vital organs. At SND Multispeciality Hospital, our comprehensive screening program is designed to detect silent complications before they become life-altering issues.
1. Diabetic Neuropathy (Nerve Care)
High blood sugar can injure nerves throughout your body, most often in your legs and feet. If you experience numbness, burning, or a “pins and needles” sensation, our specialists are here to help.
-
Our Screening: We use specialized sensory testing and vibration perception tests to assess nerve health.
-
Goal: To prevent injuries and infections that often go unnoticed due to loss of sensation.
2. Diabetic Nephropathy (Kidney Health)
Diabetes is a leading cause of kidney disease. Because kidney damage often has no symptoms in the early stages, regular screening is vital.
-
Our Screening: We perform precise Microalbuminuria (urine) and eGFR (blood) tests to monitor how well your kidneys are filtering waste.
-
Goal: Early intervention with medication and diet to stop or slow the progression of kidney involvement.
3. Diabetic Retinopathy (Advanced Eye Screening)
Diabetes can damage the tiny blood vessels in the retina, leading to vision loss or blindness. Regular eye exams are the only way to catch retinopathy early.
-
Our Screening: Through our network of expert ophthalmologists, we provide referrals for dilated eye exams and digital retinal imaging.
-
Goal: To detect leaks or swelling in the eye early enough to treat them and save your sight.
