Podocyte Structural Parameters Do Not Predict Progression to Diabetic Nephropathy in Normoalbuminuric Type 1 Diabetic Patients

Conclusion: This study does not indicate that podocyte structural changes are preconditions for later DN progression in initially normoalbuminuric type 1 diabetic patients. However, this does not preclude an important role for podocyte injury at a later stage of DN.Am J Nephrol 2015;41:277-283
