Occurrence of intercapillary nodular glomerulosclerosis in the absence of glucose intolerance.
The case of a 58-year-old man with nephrotic syndrome and characteristic pathologic renal lesions of KW disease is presented. No evidence of diabetes was found by oral or intravenous glucose tolerance tests. The possibilities of light-chain disease, membranoproliferative form of glomerulonephritis, and amyloidosis were excluded by histochemistry and immunofluorescent microscopy.
