Diabetic nephropathy with crescent: A case report

Abstract

Abstract Diabetic nephropathy is one of the main complications of diabetes, and is also one of the important causes of end-stage renal disease. It is characterized by pathological changes such as thickening of the glomerular basement membrane, expansion of the mesangial matrix, glomerular sclerosis, and hyalinosis of small arteries. However, diabetic nephropathy is rarely accompanied by the formation of a large number of crescents. At this time, renal puncture is required to search for the cause in diabetic nephropathy with worsening renal function. We report a case of diabetic nephropathy with the formation of a large number of crescents.
