Diabetic nephropathy Progressive renal damage as a result of diabetes mellitus type I or II Initially patients present with increased GFR (2x normal) Followed by proteinuria Patients then have progressively deteriorating GFR
5-10 years 15-20 years 20 years
Diabetic nephropathy is relatively rare before 10 years, peaks at 15-20 years and if the patient has not been affected by 20 years, is unlikely to get the disease 5-10 years 15-20 years 20 years

nodular glomerulosclerosis Kimmelstiel-Wilson lesions
The Kimmelstiel-Wilson (K-W) lesions are ovoid or spherical, often laminated, hyaline masses situated in the periphery of the glomerulus. The nodules are composed of lipids and fibrin.  The K-W nodules enlarge until they compress and obliterate the glomerular tuft.  Because of these glomerular and arteriolar lesions, the blood flow to the kidney is compromised and the kidney becomes ischemic. This results in tubular atrophy and interstitial fibrosis and leads to a roughened renal cortical surface.
One in five diabetic patients on dialysis do not have this “classic” pathology. They have ischemic nephropathy, with non-specific vascular and interstitial lesions Ritz E, Orth SR. N Eng J Med 1999; 341:1127-33.

Instead of the intension to treat analysis, patients were analyzed by baseline proteinuria or reduction in proteinuria.

Conclusion: reduction in proteinuria reduces CV complications and renal complications Implications: reduction in proteinuria can be used as an intermediate end-point, i.e. interventions which reduce proteinuria are good.
