  • Title: Rapidly progressive crescentic diabetic nephropathy: two case reports.
    Author: Schroers JE, Gilbert AM, McKenzie PR, Kirwan PD, Chadban SJ, Ying T.
    Journal: Intern Med J; 2022 Mar; 52(3):479-484. PubMed ID: 35307932.
    Abstract:
    Crescents are not a well recognised feature of diabetic nephropathy. We present two cases of patients presenting with a rapid decline in renal function and subacute onset of nephrotic syndrome. Glomerulonephritis screening was negative, and renal biopsy revealed non-necrotising cellular crescents and typical features of late-stage diabetic nephropathy. We review the literature for diabetic nephropathy with crescents and explore possible underlying mechanisms.
