Unsuspected diabetic glomerulosclerosis.

W J Stone, R G Horn

    Southern Medical Journal
    |May 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Diabetic glomerulosclerosis can occur before overt diabetes symptoms like glycosuria appear. Renal biopsy and electron microscopy are crucial for diagnosing this condition in patients with suspected glomerulonephritis.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Endocrinology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Glomerulonephritis is a common indication for renal biopsy.
    • Diabetes mellitus is a leading cause of chronic kidney disease.

    Observation:

    • Six patients with suspected glomerulonephritis were found to have diabetic glomerulosclerosis.
    • Abnormal glucose tolerance tests confirmed diabetes in these patients.
    • Electron microscopy was essential for diagnosis in 5/6 cases.

    Findings:

    • Diabetic glomerulosclerosis was diagnosed in 3% of patients undergoing renal biopsy for glomerulonephritis.
    • Renal pathology of diabetes can precede common clinical symptoms.
    • Early diagnosis of diabetic kidney disease is possible even without hyperglycemia.
