The number of glomeruli in type 1 (insulin-dependent) and type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetic patients. 1992

Stereological Research Laboratory, Aarhus University, Denmark.

The number of glomeruli per kidney in Type 1 (insulin-dependent) and Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetic patients was estimated by an unbiased stereological method: the fractionator. No significant differences were observed between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetic patients without severe diabetic glomerulopathy and non-diabetic patients. Diabetic patients with proteinuria who were in the early stages of diabetic nephropathy also had a normal number of glomeruli. On the other hand, a subgroup classified as Type 1 diabetic patients with severe diabetic glomerulopathy had significantly less glomeruli compared with Type 1 diabetic patients with mild or no glomerulopathy. A probable explanation is that Type 1 diabetic patients lose glomeruli in relation to the progression of diabetic glomerulopathy. A more theoretical alternative is, however, that development of diabetic glomerulopathy is facilitated by a low number of glomeruli.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007678 Kidney Glomerulus A cluster of convoluted capillaries beginning at each nephric tubule in the kidney and held together by connective tissue. Glomerulus, Kidney
D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.

D003922 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.

D003924 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 A subclass of DIABETES MELLITUS that is not INSULIN-responsive or dependent (NIDDM). It is characterized initially by INSULIN RESISTANCE and HYPERINSULINEMIA; and eventually by GLUCOSE INTOLERANCE; HYPERGLYCEMIA; and overt diabetes. Type II diabetes mellitus is no longer considered a disease exclusively found in adults. Patients seldom develop KETOSIS but often exhibit OBESITY.
