153 renal biopsies performed for suspected non-diabetic renal disease (NDRD) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) were evaluated. Indications for biopsy were proteinuria w/o retinopathy (20%), short duration of DM (31%), rapidly progressive renal failure (24%), active urine sediment (9%), and other clinical evidence of NDRD (41%). Patients with NDRD alone had shorter duration of DM; patients with combined diabetic nephropathy and NDRD had a more rapidly progressive course and active sediment. (Leehey)
