Clinical reflections of diabetic nephropathy related pathological lesions

ConclusionThis large, single center, retrospective study reveals that diabetic retinopathy is associated with glomerular and arteriolar lesions but not with interstitial lesions. Proteinuria and hematuria were independent predictors of glomerular lesions, but not other renal lesions. Nevertheless, prospective studies which include all the confounding clinical factors are required to reach a conclusion on the relationship of hematuria and renal lesions.
