Kidney in Diabetes Many disease processes affect the kidney, including diabetes. The characteristic pattern of the diabetic kidney is glomerulosclerosis. Among the glomerular capillaries in a renal corpuscle yoL should be able to see round clear pink masses characteristic of glomerulosclerosis. As the disease progresses the sclerotic nodules eplarge and eventually compress and engulf the capillaries, obliterating the glomerular tuft. How does this lead to kidney failure?
