Diabetes melitus can cause the vessels to become narrow and clogged. Without enough blood, the kidneys become damaged and albumin (a type of protein) passes through these filters and ends up in the urine where it should not be.
Glucose in urine is upto 25mg/dl
No detection of diabetes type2 does not mean chronic kidney disease.
People with diabetes have high glycemia which makes the kidneys weak and prone to damage hence there is a direct relation between diabetes and kidney disease.
Over time, high blood sugar from diabetes can damage blood vessels in the kidneys as well as nephrons so they do not work as well as they should. Many people with diabetes also develop high blood pressure, which can damage kidneys too
