Glomerular lesions• Capillary basement membrane
thickening• Diffuse glomerulosclerosis• Nodular glomeruloscierosis
(Kimmelstiel Wilson syndrome)‑

• Thickened •May be present without any

• Diffuse increase in mesangial matrix. • Always associated with basement
membrane thickening. • Found in most patients with DM > 10
years. • Presents as nephrotic syndrome.

Interstitial fibrosis• Tubules - perfused by vessels arising
from efferent arterioles. • Glomerulosclerosis - tubular ischemia
and interstitial fibrosis.
