Abstract

Detection of glycosylated protein in renal and dermal tissues was performed in patients in the microalbuminuric stage of diabetic nephropathy using the nitro blue tetrazolium (NBT) reaction. The intensity of NBT staining in glomeruli and dermal vascular vessels was marked in the microalbuminuric stage as well as in the overtly proteinuric stage. The NBT staining in the renal and dermal vascular walls in both stages was significantly stronger than in the samples of control autopsy patients. It appeared that nonenzymatic glycosylation in various tissues, i.e. kidneys and dermal vascular vessels, had already progressed in the microalbuminuric stage in patients with diabetic nephropathy.
