Abstract

Renal involvement in type 2 diabetes is a well known clinical occurrence. According to data from the literature, besides diabetic glomerulosclerosis, type 2 diabetic nephropathy may occur as a non specific chronic damage mostly related to vascular changes, or as a glomerular disease superimposed on or even unrelated to diabetic glomerulosclerosis. The most common picture remains in any case diabetic glomerulosclerosis (diabetic GS), that is characterized by variable degrees of mesangial sclerosis.
