- Abstract
Background and methods. In order to examine the clinical outcome of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) superimposed on diabetic glomerulosclerosis in type 2 patients we studied 36 Chinese patients (26 men, 10 women), who were recruited for renal biopsy when they had proteinuria of more than 1 g/day. Twenty‐seven had isolated diabetic glomerulosclerosis and nine had IgAN superimposed on diabetic glomerulosclerosis (combined). Renal function was assessed by serial serum creatinine, 24‐h urine protein and creatinine measurements. Patient survival rate, incidence of end‐stage renal disease (ESRD), blood pressure, and glycaemic control status were determined.
