ABSTRACT
Background: In addition to diabetic
nephropathies (DNP), prevalence of
nondiabetic nephropathies (NDNP)
is also known to be frequent in patients diagnosed
with type 2 Diabetes mellitus (DM). Early
diagnosis of these conditions is important for the
treatment and prognosis of these patients.
Aim:
This study aimed to investigate the relationships
between clinical and laboratory findings of type
2 diabetic patients’ renal biopsies.
Material
and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the
medical records of 140 patients who had diagnosis
of type 2 DM and underwent renal biopsy from
July 2020- August 2022 at nephrology clinics
of Hospital Umraniye. Renal biopsy results,
presence of hypertension, diabetic retinopathy,
hematuria, proteinuria; duration of the disease,
biopsy indications, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c),
serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, albumin,
and proteinuria levels in 24h urine were measured.
The statistical significance level was determined
as p‹0,05.
Results: NDNP were detected in
43,7% of the patients. Among these the most
common diagnosis was interstitial nephritis
(20%). The most common biopsy indication was
found to be nephrotic range proteinuria (30,7%).
The difference between the DNP and NDNP
patients’ renal biopsy indications was statistically
significant (p‹0,001). DNP patients had a higher
retinopathy incidence (60%,11%, p‹0,001). A
statistically significant difference was detected
between the disease duration of DNP and NDNP
groups (11,23 +5,74 years, p:0,002). According to
multivariate regression analysis DR and HbA1c
value, more than 7% have 4, 482 and 4,591-fold
increased the risk of DNP incidence (p=0,021,
p:0,024).
Conclusion: Early diagnosis of DNP
and NDNP of diabetic patients by performing
renal biopsies affects the treatment and prognosis
of the patients. Therefore, when evaluating diabetic
patients, its necessary not to overlook the findings
suggestive of NDNP.
