Here, we present three patients with edema, heavy proteinuria, chronic renal failure, in whom no past or present symptomatic glucose intolerance or diabetic retinopathy were found. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Amyloidosis

  In contrast, nodules can also be seen in deposition diseases such as amyloidosis. [ajkdblog.org]

  Nodular glomerulosclerosis may be idiopathic or develop associated with diabetes mellitus, membranoprolipherative glomerulonephritis, light or heavy chain deposits, amyloidosis, fibrillary or immunotactoide disease, and Takayasu's arteritis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  […] glomerulosclerosis or Kimmelstiel-Wilson disease; ovoid, spherical, laminated hyaline masses in peripheral of glomerulus, PAS+, eventually obliterates glomerular tuft; specific for diabetes and membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, light chain disease and amyloidosis [pathologyoutlines.com]

  A differential diagnosis is amyloidosis, associated with enlarged glomeruli but poor staining with PAS and silver stain. [renalfellow.org]

• Weakness

  Immunofluoresence will typically confirm diabetic nephropathy via a weak linear basement membrane IgG staining, whereas MIDD or light chain amyloidosis will be restricted to the abnormal light chain clone. [ajkdblog.org]

  These lesions may represent early stages of glomerular disease or be induced by LC with a weak pathogenic potential. Their diagnosis would be unrecognized without the immunostaining results. [kidneypathology.com]

  Case A 34-year-old Hispanic woman with an increased body mass index (BMI, 33.7 Kg/m 2 ), hypothyroidism, and kidney disease presented to the emergency room with headache, generalized weakness, and new onset hypertension. [pulmonarychronicles.com]

• Pallor

  The physical examination was unremarkable, except by blood pressure of 140/70 mmHg, body mass index of 22.1 kg/m2, and pallor. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Hypertension

  ING is a very rare clinicopathological disease associated with smoking, obesity and hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and metabolic syndrome. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  But, hypertension, smoking, obesity, intermittent hyperglycemia predating the diagnosis of diabetes possibly explain the development of nodular glomerulosclerosis in these patients. [jhu.pure.elsevier.com]

• Suggestibility

  Both appear quite similar with H&E staining, but the top right image shows the nodules staining positive on silver staining suggestive of diabetic nephropathy. [ajkdblog.org]

  This is a valuable case of ING that suggests the existence of as-yet unknown causative factors of ING other than smoking, hypertention or obesity. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Confusion

  The features of nephropathy in type 2 diabetes are quite heterogeneous, which can sometimes be confusing to clinicians. [ekjm.org]

  As the patient ages, the cysts may become more spherical and the disease can be confused withADPKD. Interstitial fibrosis is also seen as renal function deteriorates. [aippg.net]

• Asthenia

  CASE REPORT A 44-year-old woman who was current smoker (25 packs/year), with hypertension and peripheral arterial disease diagnosed 2 and 1 years ago, respectively, presented with asthenia, nausea, and vomiting during the previous 2 weeks. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Renal Injury

  Patients with metabolic syndrome should be screened for evidence of renal injury since clinical and histological nodular glomerulosclerosis identical to diabetic nephropathy can occur in this setting. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Further supporting the central role of hypertension in renal injury is the fact that progressive renal injury only occurs when hypertension is superimposed on obesity or diabetes. [mdpi.com]

  Management Patients with metabolic syndrome should be screened for evidence of renal injury since clinical and histological nodular glomerulosclerosis identical to diabetic nephropathy can occur in this setting. [nature.com]

• Nocturia

  […] associated with an increased risk of death in general, particularly from cardiovascular disease. [11] [14] Signs and symptoms [ edit ] The onset of symptoms is 5 to 10 years after the disease begins. [1] A usual first symptom is frequent urination at night: nocturia [en.wikipedia.org]

  Loss of tubular function--in particular of concentrating ability--gives rise to polyuria and nocturia. Radiographic studies show asymmetrically contracted kidneys with characteristic coarse scars and blunting and deformity of the calyceal system. [aippg.net]

Since there were no clinical or workup evidences of DM, the patients was diagnosed with ING. 4, 8 IF showed no typical deposits; only non-specific C3 deposits in vessels and sclerotic sites and poor linear pattern IgG deposits in glomeruli were seen. [scielo.br]

  Pathogenesis begins with small vessel disease. [merckmanuals.com]

• Pericardial Effusion

  Proteinuria never fell below 5 g/day; maintenance hemodialysis was initiated due to the development of pericardial effusion, considered a uremic symptom. [ekjm.org]

• Nodular Glomerulosclerosis

  RESULTS: Nodular glomerulosclerosis was found in 37.6%. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Hyperglycemia

  But, hypertension, smoking, obesity, intermittent hyperglycemia predating the diagnosis of diabetes possibly explain the development of nodular glomerulosclerosis in these patients. [jhu.pure.elsevier.com]

  but some factors other than hyperglycemia may be responsible for renal damage in our patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Hypoalbuminemia

  Serum protein electrophoresis confirmed the presence of hypoalbuminemia (22.8 g/l), the total protein was 56 g/l and demonstrated polyclonal elevation of the gamma-globulins (13 g/l). The cholesterol was 4.1 µmol/l and triglycerides was 1.1 mmol/l. [casesjournal.biomedcentral.com]

  The onset of disease is usually rapid, and it is characterized by massive proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia, generalized edema, and as visualized by light microscopy, minimal glomerular changes [ 11 ]. [omicsonline.org]

  Other laboratory data not shown in the table are: microhematuria in 25 out of 30 cases, hyperuricemia/gout in 12 out of 33 cases (37%), peripheral vasculopathy in 14 out of 42 patients (33%), hypoalbuminemia in nine out of 44 patients (21%) and three [mdpi.com]

• Creatinine Increased

  Dose should be decreased if symptoms of orthostatic hypotension develop or serum creatinine increases by more than 30%. [merckmanuals.com]

  However, over a 9-month period, serum creatinine increased gradually from 2.4 to 6.3 mg/dL. Proteinuria never fell below 5 g/day; maintenance hemodialysis was initiated due to the development of pericardial effusion, considered a uremic symptom. [ekjm.org]

  Four years previously, nephrology analysis diagnosed probable nephroangiosclerosis (serum creatinine of 1.7 mg/dL, albuminuria/creatinine ratio 50 mg/g, normal sized kidneys with increased cortical echogenicity and normal renal Doppler). [mdpi.com]

Both type I and type II diabetes prevent the body from turning sugar into energy. Normally, eating sugar causes an organ called the pancreas to release the hormone insulin. This insulin turns the sugar into energy. [unckidneycenter.org]

Prevention Edit Low protein diet helps in preventing or delaying the onset of kidney disease. High blood pressure requires proper treatment as continued high blood pressure accelerates the onset of kidney disease. [diabetes.wikia.com]
