Abstract:
Renal diseases other than diabetic nephropathy can occur in diabetic patients. Urinary abnormalities or clinical courses inconsistent with the natural progression of diabetic nephropathy are suggestive of non-diabetic renal diseases and should lead to more extensive investigations. Presence of non-diabetic renal diseases in diabetic patients can alter the treatment plan and the prognosis. We report a 9-year-old girl who had type 1 membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis as well as type 1 diabetes mellitus.
