Title: Renal biopsy analysis of 170 diabetic nephropathy in type 2 diabetes
Abstract: Objective To explore the value of renal biopsy in diagnosis and the management of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Methods Renal biopsy specimens were obtained from 170 DN patients with type 2 diabetics. The clinical parameters and histopathological findings of renal biopsy samples were examined. Results DN alone was seen in 119 patients (70.0%), including 22 with early (mesangial) proliferative DN, 97 with typical DN (47 with nodular glomerulosclerosis, 50 with diffused glomerulosclerosis).Non-diabetice renal disease was found in 51 patients. Among those with DN, 13(25.5%)were diagnosed as IgA nephropathy, 8(15.7%) as interstitial nephritis and 2(3.9%) as (proliferative) glomerulonephritis. Among those with DM, 10(19.6%) were diagnosed as IgA (nephropathy), 4(7.8%) as mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis, 4(7.8%) as minimal change nephritis, 6(11.8%) as interstitial nephritis, 2(3.9%) as membranous nephropathy and 2(3.9%) as crescentic glomerulonephritis. Conclusions It is encouraged that renal biopsy should be done in the T2DM whose DN can not be diagnosed.
