Nodular glomerulosclerosis in a kidney transplant recipient with impaired glucose tolerance: diabetic or idiopathic? A case report and literature review.

ABSTRACT: Nodular glomerulosclerosis, typically diagnosed in patients with diabetes mellitus, has been reported in native kidneys of pre-diabetic patients but similar cases in kidney transplant recipients are lacking. We describe a case of nodular glomerulosclerosis in a kidney transplant recipient who had not been found to be diabetic despite regular screening and discuss the implications for the pathogenesis and diagnosis of nodular glomerulosclerosis and screening of post-transplant diabetes mellitus.
