A wide spectrum of non-diabetic renal diseases (NDRD) are reported to occur in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, the prevalence and nature of NDRD in type 2 diabetics is not widely documented in our country. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to analyse prevalence and spectrum of non-diabetic renal disease in type 2 diabetic patients.
Two hundred sixty type 2 diabetic with clinical renal diseases were screened for evidence of NDRD, between April 1997 to March 1999. Renal disease other than diabetic nephropathy was found in 32 (12.3%) patients. Their (male 23; female 9) age ranged between 35-72 (mean 54.15+/-10.3) years. The duration of diabetes was < 5 years in 14 (43.7%), between 5-9 years in 8 (25%) and > 10 years in 10 (31.2%) patients.
The presenting clinical syndromes were : chronic renal failure 15 (47%), acute nephritic syndrome 6 (18.7%), nephrotic syndrome 5 (15.6%), acute renal failure 4 (12.5%) and rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN) in 2 (6.2%) cases. Overall, incidence of glomerular (46.8%) and tubulo-interstitial lesions (53.2%) were almost equal in type 2 diabetes patients. The spectrum of non-diabetic renal diseases includes : primary isolated glomerulopathy 12 (37.5%); mesangioproliferative GN superimposed on diabetic glomerulosclerosis (DGS) in 3 (9.3%); acute tubulo-interstitial nephropathy (TIN) 4 (12.5%); chronic TIN 10 (31.25%) and three patients had chronic pyelonephritis. Diabetic retinopathy was absent in 22 (69%) cases where 10 (31%) patients had background diabetic retinopathy. None of the patients with non-diabetic glomerular disease had diabetic retinopathy, except two who had DGS in addition to mesangioproliferative GN on renal biopsy. The background diabetic retinopathy was seen in 47% of patients with TIN without clinical evidence of diabetic nephropathy. The recovery of renal function or clinical improvement was observed in 47% of patients with NDRD with institution of appropriate treatment.
The prevalence of NDRD was 12.3% in our type 2 diabetic patients. Both non-diabetic glomerulopathy (47%) and tubulo-interstitial nephropathy (53%) can occur with nearly equal frequency in such patients. It is also gratifying to diagnose and treat NDRD in type 2 diabetics in selected cases.
据报道,2型糖尿病患者中会出现多种非糖尿病性肾脏疾病(NDRD)。然而,我国2型糖尿病患者中NDRD的患病率和性质尚无广泛记录。因此,本研究的目的是分析2型糖尿病患者中非糖尿病性肾脏疾病的患病率和种类。
1997年4月至1999年3月期间,对260例患有临床肾脏疾病的2型糖尿病患者进行筛查,以寻找NDRD的证据。32例(12.3%)患者被发现患有糖尿病肾病以外的肾脏疾病。他们(男性23例;女性9例)的年龄在35 - 72岁之间(平均54.15±10.3岁)。糖尿病病程<5年的有14例(43.7%),5 - 9年的有8例(25%),>10年的有10例(31.2%)。
呈现的临床综合征为:慢性肾衰竭15例(47%),急性肾炎综合征6例(18.7%),肾病综合征5例(15.6%),急性肾衰竭4例(12.5%),快速进展性肾小球肾炎(RPGN)2例(6.2%)。总体而言,2型糖尿病患者中肾小球病变(46.8%)和肾小管间质病变(53.2%)的发生率几乎相等。非糖尿病性肾脏疾病的种类包括:原发性孤立性肾小球病12例(37.5%);叠加在糖尿病肾小球硬化症(DGS)上的系膜增生性肾小球肾炎(GN)3例(9.3%);急性肾小管间质性肾病(TIN)4例(12.5%);慢性TIN 10例(31.25%),3例患者患有慢性肾盂肾炎。22例(69%)患者无糖尿病视网膜病变,10例(31%)患者有背景性糖尿病视网膜病变。除2例肾活检除系膜增生性GN外还伴有DGS的患者外,非糖尿病性肾小球疾病患者均无糖尿病视网膜病变。在无糖尿病肾病临床证据的TIN患者中,47%可见背景性糖尿病视网膜病变。给予适当治疗后,47%的NDRD患者肾功能恢复或临床症状改善。
在我们的2型糖尿病患者中,NDRD的患病率为12.3%。此类患者中非糖尿病性肾小球病(47%)和肾小管间质性肾病(53%)的发生频率几乎相等。在部分病例中对2型糖尿病患者的NDRD进行诊断和治疗也令人满意。
