PG - 107874 LID - S0168-8227(19)30893-9 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.diabres.2019.107874 [doi] AB - AIMS: To determine the predictability of diagnosing diabetic nephropathy (DN) versus non-diabetic renal disease (NDRD) from clinical and laboratory data in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) manifesting heavy proteinuria. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical and laboratory data of patients with T2DM manifesting heavy proteinuria who underwent renal biopsy from January 2014 to December 2017. RESULTS: According to renal biopsy, 220 patients were finally enrolled, including 109 cases diagnosed with DN alone (49.55%), 94 with NDRD alone (42.73%) and 17 with DN plus superimposed NDRD (7.73%). Multivariate analysis showed the significant risk factors for DN alone were age, duration of diabetes, presence of retinopathy, 24-h proteinuria, serum albumin and SBP. Presence of retinopathy achieved the highest overall diagnostic efficiency with the area under the curve of 0.852, sensitivity of 78.9% and specificity of 91.5%. The combined diagnosis with four indicators (duration of diabetes, retinopathy, SBP, and serum albumin) showed the area under the curve of 0.938, sensitivity of 88.1% and specificity of 87.2%. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of DN is high in patients with T2DM manifesting heavy proteinuria. Renal biopsy should be performed in diabetics in the atypical clinical scenario.
