TI  - Correlation of microproteinuria and histopathological changes in kidney in 
      diabetes mellitus.
PG  - 261-7
AB  - Single attempt kidney biopsy was successful in 60 cases of diabetes mellitus out 
      of 83. Histopathological evidence of nephropathy was found in 30 (50%) out of 60 
      (4 of IDDM and 56 of NIDDM). Microproteinuria was a sensitive indicator of 
      histopathological evidence of nephropathy (by biopsy) and should be used as a non 
      invasive method of evidence of kidney involvement in diabetes mellitus regardless 
      of duration of the disease. Routine renal function tests--commonly used 
      indicators of kidney disease in the presence of hypertension were of no value and 
      should not be relied upon. Duration of diabetes mellitus was important 
      correlation with the evidence of the disease and and its severity but nephropathy 
      was found in newly detected cases of diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). Nephropathy was 
      present in case of DM who had retinopathy and is a better factor of correlation.
