Nodular glomerulosclerosis in patients’ without history of diabetes mellitus: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION 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. CASE PRESENTATION 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. CONCLUSION Renal manifestations of diabetes mellitus may antedate other more common presenting symptoms of this disease and we critically review the literature on this subject.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a multisystemic disease but without a classical disease-specific renal phenotype. A 32-year-old male patient with CF (ΔF508/ΔF508) presented with a nephrotic syndrome. Renal biopsy revealed nodular glomerulosclerosis (NGS) occurring in the absence of diabetes mellitus, amyloidosis and any other known common cause of NGS. He had a progressive decline in estimated glomerul...
متن کاملEarly recurrence of diabetic nodular sclerosis in a kidney transplant recipient.
Almost all kidney transplant recipients with diabetes mellitus will eventually develop recurrence of diabetic nephropathy in their allograft. Despite this high incidence, there are very few reported cases of diabetic nephropathy of diffuse type, and the nodular sclerosis form is uncommon. Recurrence of diabetic nephropathy of nodular glomerulosclerosis type usually occurs during the second deca...
