چکیده
BACKGROUND AND METHODS In order to examine the clinical outcome of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) superimposed on diabetic glomerulosclerosis in type 2 patients we studied 36 Chinese patients (26 men, 10 women), who were recruited for renal biopsy when they had proteinuria of more than 1 g/day. Twenty-seven had isolated diabetic glomerulosclerosis and nine had IgAN superimposed on diabetic glomerulosclerosis (combined). Renal function was assessed by serial serum creatinine, 24-h urine protein and creatinine measurements. Patient survival rate, incidence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), blood pressure, and glycaemic control status were determined. RESULTS The age at the time of renal biopsy was younger for the combined group when compared with the diabetic glomerulosclerosis group (44+/-3.6 vs 58+/-2.1 years, P=0.006). The duration of diabetes was, however, similar for the two groups (8.0+/-2.3 vs 6.7+/-1.2 years, P=NS). After a mean follow-up of 31.6+/-15.3 months, 15 patients (one in the combined group and 14 in the diabetic glomerulosclerosis group) developed ESRD. Nine patients (all in the diabetic glomerulosclerosis group) died during follow-up. With similar glycaemic and blood pressure control, the two groups had comparable rate of decline of creatinine clearance (CrCl) (-0.73+/-0.26 vs -0.73+/- 0.18 ml/min/1.73 m(2)/month, P=NS), final serum creatinine (363+/-134 vs 426+/-52 micromol/l, P=NS) and proteinuria levels (4.3+/-0.9 vs 4.4+/-0.6 g/day, P=NS), as well as CrCl (44.1+/-19.0 vs 33.4+/-6.9 ml/min/ 1.73 m(2), P=NS). CONCLUSION It is concluded that the superimposed IgAN does not significantly alter the medium-term clinical outcome of patients with diabetic glomerulosclerosis.

BACKGROUND Approximately one-third of individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus will eventually develop diabetic nephropathy (DN). Impaired renal function in type 2 diabetics may also be secondary to non-diabetic renal disease (NDRD). NDRD in type 2 diabetics may occur alone in the absence of DN or may be superimposed on DN. Renal biopsy maybe indicated to establish the correct diagnosis and to...

Background : Diabetic nephropathy is the most common cause of end-stage renal disease and it has various pathologic features. We investigated the clinicopathologic differences between the histologic classes of diabetic nephropathy. Methods : A total of 46 patients with diabetic nephropathy were evaluated. Morphologically, the renal lesions were divided into three categories: class 1, diffuse or...

BACKGROUND Both diabetic nephropathy (DN) and nondiabetic nephropathy (NDN) are reported to occur in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). The precise diagnosis of the type of nephropathy has obvious clinical and prognostic implication. The aim of the study was to evaluate the histologic spectrum of nephropathy in proteinuric type 2 diabetic patients and to find the correlation between t...

The prevalence of type 2 diabetes is rising rapidly in Asian populations due to lifestyle changes and increased life expectancy. With the rapidly increasing number of patients with diabetes worldwide, diabetic nephropathy (DN) is becoming one of the most common causes of renal disease. Indeed, approximately 20–40% of diabetic patients develop DN [1]. The diagnosis of DN is based primarily on cl...
