Kidney Biopsy-Proven Diabetic and Non-Diabetic Kidney Diseases and Outcomes in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Receiving Dialysis: The REIN Registry.

ABSTRACT:

Rationale & objective

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients with diabetes does not always equate to diabetic kidney disease (DKD). This study aims to delineate and compare the clinical characteristics, survival rates, and access to kidney transplantation among patients with type 2 diabetes commencing dialysis, who were classified by kidney biopsy as having either DKD or non-diabetic kidney disease (non-DKD).

Study design

We used the comprehensive French Renal Epidemiology and Information Network registry to analyze baseline clinical characteristics at dialysis inception and outcomes defined as death and access to kidney transplantation.

Outcomes & analytical approach

We employed a multivariate Cox proportional hazards model and the Fine-Gray competing risk model to
