Intercapillary Glomerulosclerosis and the Kimmelstiel-Wilson Syndrome

Intercapillary glomerulosclerosis and the Kimmelstiel-Wilson syndrome.

Pathologic classification of diabetic nephropathy.

Although pathologic classifications exist for several renal diseases, including IgA nephropathy, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, and lupus nephritis, a uniform classification for diabetic nephropathy is lacking. Our aim, commissioned by the Research Committee of the Renal Pathology Society, was to develop a consensus classification combining type1 and type 2 diabetic nephropathies. Such a c...

Nodular glomerulosclerosis in a patient with cystic fibrosis, but not diabetes mellitus: A paediatric case

Diabetic nephropathy is a spectrum of glomerular and tubular disease which correlates with the duration of the diabetes and the extent of glycaemic control. CASE REPORT An eleven year old girl with cystic fibrosis was referre...
