MAGNETOTHERAPY AND DIABETIC CONDITION OF KIDNEYS AND RETINA
Diabetic retinopathy or damage of the retina is a specific
complication in diabetes, which develops roughly after 10 years of
duration of this illness in up to 50% type 1 diabetic patients.
Out of this number about a quarter suffers a proliferative
diabetic retinopathy, which is the most severe type of this condition.
Again, the retinal damage is enhanced by a high level of sugar
in blood and high blood pressure.
Therefore an integral part of this diabetes complication treatment
is the use of pulsed magnetotherapy
Regular application of magnetotherapy manages to stabilise
blood pressure, improve eye perfusion
and thus prevent severe alternations
that may lead even to vision loss.
Another frequent and severe diabetic complication is
renal insufficiency or kidney failure. High level of sugar in
blood and high blood pressure damage the filtration units in
kidneys, which gradually leads to their failure. Patients suffering
from advanced stages of this complication often cannot avoid
haemodialysis and the following kidney transplantation.
Pulsed magnetotherapy should be part of preventing the onset of
this complication, and if the complications already exists,
then it should also become a dominant component
of kidney insufficiency treatment.
