The five stages
of nephropathy are shown in this slide. It is important to recognize that the transition
from normal to microalbuminuria is in fact a two way street and many individuals will go
back from microalbuminuria to normal. Going back from overt nephropathy to
microalbuminuria is less frequent, although it does occur. Though many patients with overt
nephropathy go onto renal failure the rate of progression does not appear now to be as
complete as previous studies suggest.
