abstract:
Background. The utility of renal biopsy in patients with diabetes is highly debated. Diabetics with rapidly worsening renal disease are often 'clinically' labelled as having diabetic nephropathy (DN), whereas, in many cases, they are rather developing a nondiabetic renal disease (NDRD) or mixed forms (DN + NDRD).
