The presence of proteinuria has been considered as a prerequisite for the diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy. But one third to one half of type 2 diabetics with CKD have no proteinuria and the pathology of non proteinuric CKD in this group remains unclear as renal biopsy is commonly not performed in these patients. The present study addresses the question: Can a classical diabetic nephropathy occur in the absence of proteinuria?
