Abstract
This paper reports a 49-year-old male patient with a long-term smoking history who developed renal insufficiency and proteinuria in the range of nephropathy without diabetes. Renal biopsy showed nodular glomerulosclerosis with vitreous degeneration of arterioles and moderate and severe proliferation of glomerular mesangial cells and matrix. The patient was diagnosed with idiopathic nodular glomerulosclerosis. After treatment with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin II receptor blocker (ACEI/ARB) drugs, the level of albuminuria decreased rapidly, and renal function remained stable. The clinical manifestations and pathological features of 122 cases of idiopathic nodular glomerulosclerosis reported from 1999 to August 2023 were analyzed, retrospectively.
本文报告了一名有长期吸烟史的 49 岁男性患者，他出现了肾功能不全和蛋白尿，属于无糖尿病肾病范围。肾活检显示结节性肾小球硬化，动脉血管玻璃体变性，肾小球系膜细胞和基质中度和重度增生。患者被诊断为特发性结节性肾小球硬化症。在接受血管紧张素转换酶抑制剂/血管紧张素 II 受体阻滞剂（ACEI/ARB）治疗后，白蛋白尿水平迅速下降，肾功能保持稳定。本文对1999年至2023年8月期间报告的122例特发性结节性肾小球硬化症患者的临床表现和病理特征进行了回顾性分析。
