Abstract
Atypical clinical course of diabetic nephropathy may
indicate other non-diabetic kidney disease. It requires
diverse diagnostic and therapeutic approach. We
presented a case of patient who suffered from diabetes

superimposed primary glomerulonephitis - membranoproliferative
glomerulonephritis histollogically
proven. We described diagnostic tools and therapeutic
procedure i.e. immunosupessive treatment
with its benefits.
