title: Clinical features associated with a rapid decline in renal function among Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: microscopic hematuria coexisting with diabetic retinopathy.
abstract: Four patients who exhibited the greatest decline in the estimated glomerular filtration rate [12.3-23.5 ml/min/1.73 m(2)/year] among 320 patients with type 2 diabetes and were followed for a median of 6.8 years had several clinical features in common, including marked albuminuria, microhematuria, retinopathy and poor medication adherence.
