Heybeli C, et al. - Via retrospectively searching the records of 115 patients with type 2 diabetes who had a renal biopsy between 2004 and 2018, researchers studied clinical clues for non-diabetic renal diseases (NDRD) in this patient population, and analyzed patient renal prognosis based on the pathological diagnosis. The presence of NDRD in univariate analysis was associated with the absence of diabetic retinopathy, recent onset of diabetes, abnormal chronology of disease, and blood hemoglobin. According to findings, renal biopsy is essential in certain clinical conditions, as NDRD diagnosis is vital for a favorable renal survival outcomes. Diabetic nephropathy in the presence of toxic insults can facilitate superimposed tubular injury.
