The concomitant presence of retinopathy may be helpful in discriminating kidney pathology in type 2 diabetes. This cross-sectional study evaluated the ability to predict the likelihood of patients having diabetic kidney disease (DKD) by comparing the percentage incidence of diabetic retinopathy in different subgroups of Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes (n = 668). The prevalence of chronic kidney disease in the patients was 63.3% (6.6% with DKD, 41.0% with possible DKD and 15.7% with non-diabetic renal disease [NDRD]). The percentage of patients with diabetic retinopathy in the DKD group (63.6%) was significantly higher than in the possible DKD group (24.9%) and the NDRD group (19.0%). DKD was independently associated with diabetic retinopathy based on logistic regression analysis. The likelihood of DKD occurrence as defined by the National Kidney Foundation–Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative™ of the USA is applicable to Chinese patients with diabetes. Diabetic retinopathy was more prevalent in patients with DKD compared with patients with possible DKD or NDRD.
