Impact of Diabetic Lesions on Pathology, Treatment and Outcomes of Glomerular Diseases.

Among people with diabetes and GD, mild diabetic glomerular lesions on biopsy do not impact outcomes, but moderate-severe lesions increase the risk for ESKD and death. Whether use of immunosuppression, particularly glucocorticoids, is less successful in inducing GD remission in people with moderate-severe diabetic lesions will be a focus of future study in a larger population.
