Abstract
This study confirmed usefulness of renal biopsy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, due to the high prevalence of non-diabetic renal disease found. Since non-diabetic renal disease are potentially curable, we should consider renal biopsy in selected type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with renal involvement, especially in those with absence of diabetic retinopathy and independence of insulin therapy.
