Sumario:Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the most consequential and longstanding microvascular complication of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and the most common cause for renal replacement therapy throughout the world. The most important risk factor for DN includes poor glycemic control. We present a rare case where biopsy-proven grade 3 DN had a concurrent presentation at the time of diagnosis of T1DM in a 12-year-old female child. This earlier than expected DN noted in this patient raises the question regarding the need for earlier surveillance for DN in children.
