Abstract
In a busy diabetes clinic, it is always easy for the diabetologist to equate nephropathy and diabetes to “diabetic nephropathy”. Certain clinical clues should arouse suspicion of non-diabetic renal disease as this may have important implications in patient management. We report a case of multiple myeloma in a patient with diabetes presenting as “diabetic nephropathy”.
