Background

The diabetic patient with kidney disease has a high prevalence of non-diabetic nephropathy(NDN) and the renal and patient survival in relation to the presence of diabetic nephropathy(DN) or NDN has not been widely studied. The objectives of the study are: to determine the capacity of the clinical and analytical data in the prediction in the histological result(DN or NDN) and to find differences in renal and patient survival.

Methods

Spanish retrospective descriptive multicenter study of the pathological result of biopsies performed in diabetic patients in 2002-2014.

Results

16 centers participated including 692 patients:511 men(73.8%), mean age of 62±12years, evolution of diabetes mellitus 10.5(3.7-15.3)years, serum creatinine 2,8±2,2mg/dl, glomerular filtration rate MDRD-4 of 37,7±26.8mL/min/1,73m2,glycosylated hemoglobin 7±1,7% and proteinuria of 3.91(1.1-5)gr/24h.
40.6% of patients had DN,48.6%NDN and 10.8%ND plus NDN. The most frequent NDN was nephroangiosclerosis(12.7%).
Multivariate logistic regression analysis: age(OR1,026,1,003-1,033,p=0.021),microhematuria(OR 1.523,1.047-2.214,p=0.028), creatinine(OR:1,149,1,045-1,164,p=0.004) and diabetic retinopathy (DR)(OR0.434,0.311-0.604p<0.001) were independently associated with NDN. We obtained the ROC curve model:(95% CI):0.683(0.636-0.731).
35.2%(n=184) of patients needed renal replacement therapy(RRT),47.3% of them presented DN,38.6% NDN and 14.1% DN and NDN. The overall mortality of the studied patients was 18.7%(n=98), of them 42% presented DN,46% NDN and 12% DN and NDN.
In the analysis of survival with Kaplan-Meier curves: Patients with DN or DN+NDN presented worse renal prognosis than NDN patients(p<0.001). In the multivariate analysis of Cox adjusted by confusing variables, DN was confirmed as a risk factor for RRT.

Conclusion

The most frequent NDN is nephroangiosclerosis. Elder patients with microhematuria, worse renal function and absence of DR are high risk for NDN. DN has worse renal prognosis than NDN. The histological diagnosis of renal involvement in the diabetic can facilitate an effective treatment and an improvement in the renal prognosis.
