Diabetes Mellitus can cause renal failure; High blood sugar can overwork the kidneys, which over time damage them. After many years, they start to leak small amounts of protein (albumin) into the urine, which indicates that the kidneys are damaged.
In stage two of the disease, damage to the kidneys has progressed to a level that causes problems throughout the body. One such problem is an increase in the amount of waste products in the blood such as urea, creatinine, and phosphate. Other effects of chronic renal failure include anemia, bone disease, acidosis, and salt and fluid retention.

∙ 13y agoAbsolutely. Renal refers to the kidneys, the kidney's function is to filter the blood of all toxins. A diabetic has too much sugar in their blood and the kidneys have to work harder then usual to filter the sugar out. In addition sugar makes the blood more viscous, syrup-like, which inhibits the transport of oxygen and nutrients to all organs including the kidneys.
