OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to characterize the prevalence of non-diabetic renal disease among African-Americans (AA) with type II diabetes mellitus based on a biopsy series. No previous study has investigated the nature of renal lesions in AA with type II DM. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Thirty AA patients with type II DM who were being managed at an inner-city hospital had kidney biopsies to evaluate suspected non-diabetic renal disease (NDRD) between 1994 and 1998. The demographic, clinical and histopathological data on these patients were analysed retrospectively. Kidney biopsies were reviewed by light microscopy, immunofluorescence and electron microscopy. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Three patterns of glomerular disease were observed. Diabetic nephropathy alone was seen in 13 patients (41.9%), diabetic nephropathy coexisted with glomerulonephritis in 12 patients (38.7%), while NDRD was seen in six patients (19.4%).
