| description | Abstract Background This study aimed to explore the clinical and pathological features of patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD), with and without non-diabetic kidney disease (NDKD), through a retrospective analysis. The objective was to provide clinical insights for accurate identification. Methods A retrospective analysis of 235 patients admitted to the Department of Nephrology at Hangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine was conducted between July 2014 and December 2022. These patients underwent renal biopsy and received a pathology-based diagnosis of DKD. They were categorized into the DKD alone group (93 cases) and the DKD + NDKD group (142 cases). Results In the DKD alone group, gender distribution was even, with ages mainly between 50 and 59 years, and a disease duration of less than 5 years, primarily presenting nodular diabetic glomerulosclerosis. In contrast, the DKD + NDKD group had a higher male incidence, a wider age range, longer disease duration, and prevalent diffuse diabetic glomerulosclerosis. Acute and chronic tubulointerstitial lesions and IgA nephropathy were the predominant types of combined NDKD, accounting for 40.14% and 35.21%, respectively. Clinical correlation analysis revealed associations between glomerular grading, tubulointerstitial lesions, renal arteriolar vitelliform lesions, renal vascular atherosclerosis, and clinical parameters such as 24-hour urine protein, hemoglobin, and urinary specific gravity. Multifactorial logistic regression analysis identified independent factors affecting DKD + NDKD, including body mass index, blood creatinine level, microscopic erythrocyte grade, urinary immunoglobulin G/creatinine ratio, and serum immunoglobulin A. Conclusion The research underscores distinctions in age, gender distribution, disease duration, and renal pathology between DKD alone and DKD + NDKD groups. Additionally, significant discriminative factors including BMI, blood creatinine level, microscopic erythrocyte grade, UIgG/urine creatinine ratio, and serum IgA levels help differentiate DKD from NDKD, thereby enabling personalized treatment approaches. Furthermore, the study highlights the role of RASi as the most commonly used drug in the treatment of both DKD and NDKD, with emerging drugs such as SGLT2 inhibitors showing promising renal protective effects. |
