    Author: Winaver J, Teredesai P, Feldman HA, Stachura I, Cavallo T, Puschett JB.
    Journal: Metabolism; 1979 Oct; 28(10):1023-30. PubMed ID: 491959.
    Abstract:
    Diabetic nephropathy have only rarely been described in patients who have minimal or no glucose intolerance. We herein report the case of a 59-yr-old man who presented with nephrotic syndrome and minimal glucose intolerance whose renal biopsy showed the nodular (Kimmelsteil-Wilson) and diffuse glomerulosclerosis lesions characteristic of diabetes. We critically review the literature on this subject, pointing out the pitfalls in diagnosis and establishing strict criteria for the diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy in patients wihout overt clinical diabetes.
