Summary

The WHO (World Health Organisation) estimated the prevalence of diabetes to be 422 million people in 2014, compared to 108 million in 1980. This has led to an increasing number of diabetic patients referred to nephrologists for diagnostic purposes. Diabetic nephropathy is the most common renal disease in this population and is usually a presumptive diagnosis based on clinical and biological features although microscopic examination of a renal sample acquired through renal biopsy is the only way to be certain of this diagnosis. However, kidney biopsy is an invasive procedure carrying a low but incontestable risk of adverse event such as post-procedural pain and bleeding. Consequently, nephrologist around the world feel that renal biopsy should only be performed in patients with type 2 diabetes to detect non-diabetic renal disease, when the diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy is dubious or unlikely. This likeliness is based on the presence or absence of typical feature such as diabetic retinopathy, hematuria, progressive decline of renal function or increase of proteinuria, long duration of diabetes, nephrotic syndrome. These feature were identified by the comparison of patients with type 2 diabetes and non-diabetic renal disease (alone or associated to diabetic nephropathy) and isolated diabetic nephropathy.

However, it is not known if the presence (or absence) of these atypical features by themselves are indeed signs of non-diabetic renal disease and necessitate to perform renal biopsy. The aim of the study is to determine if these atypical features are relevant indications to perform renal biopsy. To answer this question, will be analyze the medical records of patients with type 2 diabetes who underwent renal biopsy in five French nephrology center to determine, in each case, the indication of the biopsy and if this latter benefitted the patients.

In addition, will be evaluate the prognosis value of the Renal Pathology Society classification of diabetic nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes and diabetic nephropathy.
