Summary

Diabetic glomerulosclerosis can occur without overt diabetes. Careful monitoring of plasma glucose and hypertension control are crucial for patients with nephrotic syndrome and azotemia showing signs of diabetic kidney disease.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Endocrinology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome with azotemia presents a diagnostic challenge.
  • Diabetic glomerulosclerosis is typically associated with diabetes mellitus.
  • Concomitant glomerular diseases were excluded in these cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate cases of diabetic glomerulosclerosis in patients without diagnosed diabetes mellitus.
  • To highlight the occurrence of diabetic kidney disease in the absence of overt hyperglycemia.
  • To emphasize the need for vigilant monitoring in specific nephrotic syndrome cases.

Main Methods:

  • Percutaneous renal biopsy was performed on four adult patients.
  • Patients presented with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome and azotemia.

  • Diagnostic tests for diabetes mellitus and diabetic retinopathy were negative.

    • Main Results:

    • Renal biopsies revealed diabetic glomerulosclerosis in all four patients.
    • None of the patients met diagnostic criteria for diabetes mellitus.
    • No funduscopic evidence of diabetic retinopathy was observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Diabetic glomerulosclerosis can manifest without concurrent diabetes mellitus.
    • A subset of patients with nephrotic syndrome and azotemia may have underlying diabetic kidney disease.
    • Close monitoring of plasma glucose and strict hypertension management are recommended.
