Predictors of non-diabetic kidney disease in diabetics: A Saudi Arabian perspective
NDKD and mixed lesions are frequent in diabetic patients. These histological lesions carry distinct prognostic implications. Clinical features such as a shorter diabetes duration, absence of retinopathy, anemia, and elevated creatinine levels suggest NDKD and warrant biopsy. NDKD had better renal and patient survival rates, while mixed lesions had the worst outcomes. Older age, hypoalbuminemia, retinopathy, arteriosclerosis, and elevated creatinine were key predictors of mortality.
