Conclusion
In a diabetic patient, fasting blood sugar, hbA1C, serum albumin, and proteinuria did not differ in the differential diagnosis of DN and PGN, whereas complications of DM (retinopathy, neuropathy, hypertension, coronary artery disease) were more characteristic in differentiation. Detection of PGN in a diabetic patient is crucial for the success of the treatment, according to DN.
