Proteinuria has been considered to be the hallmark of diabetic kidney disease and to precede renal function loss. However, it has become clear that a substantial proportion of patients either with type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes have renal function loss without proteinuria, known as nonproteinuric diabetic kidney disease.

This review describes ever known clinical and pathological manifestations, renal prognosis, and mortality in patient with nonproteinuric diabetic kidney disease.
