@entity6 is the most frequent cause of @entity8 in @entity1 with @entity6 ( @entity6 ), sometimes accompanied by @entity455 . However, other glomerular pathologies are important in these @entity1 . The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of @entity2316 ( @entity2316 ) in selected @entity1 with @entity6 , and to identify clinical markers that may predict its presence in this population. We reviewed 20 renal biopsies performed on twenty @entity1 with @entity6 . Nine of them showed @entity2316 ( @entity2316 ) (45%), whereas eleven showed @entity2316 (55%): 1 IgA @entity8 , 3 @entity1333 and 7 @entity8 . We found no differences between the two groups with regard to sex, duration of @entity6 , insulin therapy, glycosylated haemoglobin, @entity644 , presence of @entity1985 , @entity101 , serum IgA level or renal size. The @entity2316 group had haematuria in 63.6%, whereas the @entity1 with @entity2316 had it in 44.4% (NS). Body mass index was higher in @entity2316 @entity1 (30 +/- 6.7 vs 22 +/- 2.9; p < 0.01), The same was true for @entity1011 clearance (82.2 +/- 51.4 ml/m vs 40.4 +/- 19.6 ml/m; p < 0.05). The age at the moment of diagnosis was higher in @entity11702 @entity1 (67 +/- 11.2 vs 54.3 +/- 4.6; p < 0.05). The 3 @entity1 who had @entity6 were found to have @entity2316 on renal biopsy (diagnostic specificity = 100%), although 66.7% of the @entity1 with @entity2316 had no @entity989 . We conclude that @entity1 with @entity6 with renal findings suggesting @entity2316 frequently it have @entity2316 , and a renal biopsy must be performed. The presence of @entity989 has a predictive value of 100% in predicting @entity2316 , therefore its existence may make this diagnostic procedure unneccesary.
