  • Title: Diabetic glomerulosclerosis without concurrent diabetes mellitus.
    Author: Mactier RA, Luger A, Khanna R.
    Journal: South Med J; 1988 Dec; 81(12):1573-7. PubMed ID: 3059523.
    Abstract:
    In four adults with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome and azotemia, percutaneous renal biopsy showed diabetic glomerulosclerosis, yet none had oral glucose tolerance tests diagnostic of diabetes mellitus or funduscopic evidence of diabetic retinopathy. Possible concomitant glomerular disease that may have produced proteinuria was excluded. Well documented cases of diabetic glomerulosclerosis without concurrent glucose intolerance are uncommon, and almost 30% of such patients have a past history of diabetes. Despite the absence of overt diabetes at onset of diabetic glomerulosclerosis, these patients warrant careful monitoring of plasma glucose levels and strict control of systemic hypertension.
