Diabetic nephropathy can occur during the course of both type1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The characteristic lesions are diffuse or nodular (Kimmelsteil-Wilson) diabetic glomerulosclerosis. The reported cases represent unusual presentations of diabetes mellitus.
We report the case of a 49-year-old man without prior history of diabetes mellitus who presented with rapidly progressive renal failure and whose renal biopsy revealed nodular (Kimmelsteil-Wilson) glomerulosclerosis lesions characteristic of diabetes.
Renal manifestations of diabetes mellitus may antedate other more common presenting symptoms of this disease and we critically review the literature on this subject.
1型和2型糖尿病病程中均可发生糖尿病肾病。其特征性病变为弥漫性或结节性(金梅尔施泰因-威尔逊病变)糖尿病肾小球硬化症。所报告的病例代表了糖尿病的不寻常表现。
我们报告了一名49岁男性病例,该患者既往无糖尿病病史,表现为快速进展性肾衰竭,肾活检显示具有糖尿病特征性的结节性(金梅尔施泰因-威尔逊病变)肾小球硬化症病变。
糖尿病的肾脏表现可能先于该疾病其他更常见的症状出现,我们对该主题的文献进行了批判性综述。
