Hi!
Welcome to HCM!
Possible! if both the diabetes and high blood pressure are not controlled!!!
Kidneys are one of the target organs affected if the blood sugar and the blood pressure are not controlled and maintained with in the normal limits.
Since you have been diagnosed as Chronic kidney disease stage III, you will have to take extra care in controlling your diabetes and hypertension.
Consult your GP for further evaluation and management.
