Abstract
IntroductionRenal involvement in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) may be due to diabetes (diabetic kidney disease (DKD)), causes other than diabetes (non-diabetic kidney disease (NDKD)) or overlap of DKD and NDKD (mixed kidney disease group). Prevalence of NDKD and predictive value of clinical or biochemical indicators have been explored in retrospective cohorts with preselection biases warranting the need for prospectively conducted unbiased renal biopsy study.Research design and methodsConsecutive subjects aged >18 years with T2DM and renal involvement with estimated glomerular filtration rate of 30–60 mL/min/m2and/or albumin:creatinine ratio of >300 mg/g were offered renal biopsy. Prevalence of DKD, NDKD and mixed kidney disease was documented. Clinical/laboratory parameters of subjects were recorded and compared between groups and were tested for ability to predict histopathological diagnosis.ResultsWe screened 6247 subjects with T2DM of which 869 fulfilled inclusion criteria for biopsy. Of the 869 subjects, biopsy was feasible in 818 subjects. Out of 818, we recruited first 110 subjects who agreed to undergo renal biopsy. Among those 110 subjects, 73 (66.4%) had DKD; 20 (18.2 %) had NDKD; and 17 (15.4 %) had mixed kidney disease. Subjects with NDKD as compared with DKD had shorter duration of diabetes (p<0.001), absence of retinopathy (p<0.001) and absence of neuropathy (p<0.001). Logistic regression revealed that only presence of retinopathy and duration of diabetes were statistically significant to predict histopathological diagnosis of DKD. 30% of DKD did not have retinopathy, thereby limiting the utility of the same as a discriminator. Use of traditional indicators of biopsy would have indicated a need for renal biopsy in 87.2% of subjects, though 64.5% of the subjects had DKD, who would not have benefitted from biopsy.ConclusionNDKD and mixed kidney disease in T2DM with renal involvement are very common and traditionally used parameters to select biopsies are of limited value in clinical decision making.
