Can insulin resistance lead to kidney disease?My father was recently diagnosed with Kidney disease/failure and I am wondering if insulin resistance may have played a role in it. I have been diagnosed with pcos, which seems to be caused by insulin resistance.
Does anyone know?

Yes but it is because he just didnt take care of himself and watch his sugars.
I used to have PECOs and then I did the diet I have on my YA profile , the first link under "about me" and then go to meal plan... it last 11 weeks, but you will never be sick with it again.
Email me if you need help.

Yes, insulin resistance = Diabetes.
Diabetic kidney disease takes many years to develop. In some people, the filtering function of the kidneys is actually higher than normal in the first few years of their diabetes.
Over several years, people who are developing kidney disease will have small amounts of the blood protein albumin begin to leak into their urine. This first stage of CKD is called microalbuminuria. The kidney's filtration function usually remains normal during this period.
As the disease progresses, more albumin leaks into the urine. This stage may be called macroalbuminuria or proteinuria. As the amount of albumin in the urine increases, the kidneys' filtering function usually begins to drop. The body retains various wastes as filtration falls. As kidney damage develops, blood pressure often rises as well.
Overall, kidney damage rarely occurs in the first 10 years of diabetes, and usually 15 to 25 years will pass before kidney failure occurs. For people who live with diabetes for more than 25 years without any signs of kidney failure, the risk of ever developing it decreases.
