Abstract: | Introduction: The clinical-histologic correlation in diabetic nephropathy is not completely known. Methods: We analyzed nephrectomy specimens from 90 patients with diabetes and diverse degrees of proteinuria and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Results: Thirty-six (40%) subjects had normoalbuminuria, 33 (37%) microalbuminuria, and 21 (23%) non-nephrotic proteinuria. Mean estimated GFR (eGFR) was 65±23 (40% <60 ml/min per 1.73 m2). About 170 glomeruli per patient were analyzed, and all samples included vascular tissue. Six subjects (7%) were classified in diabetic nephropathy class I, 61 (68%) in class II-a, 13 (14%) in class II-b, 9 (10%) class III, and 1 (1%) in class IV. Eighty percent to 90% of those with normoalbuminuria or microalbuminuria were classified in class II-a or II-b and <10% in class III; 52% of those with proteinuria were in class II-a, 15% in class II-b, and 19% in class III. Nodular sclerosis (57%) and mesangial expansion (15%) were more frequent in cases with proteinuria than in normoalbuminuria (28% and 8%; P = 0.028 and 0.017). About 20% to 30% of all cases, regardless the level of albuminuria or proteinuria or the histologic class had tubular atrophy, interstitial fibrosis, or inflammation in >10% to 20% of the sample. Moderate hyalinosis and arteriolar sclerosis were observed in 80% to 100% of cases with normoalbuminuria, microalbuminuria, proteinuria, as well as in class I, II, or III. Conclusions: Weak correspondence between analytical parameters and kidney histology was found. Thus, disease may progress undetected from the early clinical stages of the disease. Finally, vascular damage was a very common finding, which highlights the role of ischemic intrarenal disease in diabetes. |
