Nodular glomerulosclerosis in diabetes mellitus (DM) has been a well-recognized occurrence since first described by Kimmelsteil and Wilson [1]. Other disease conditions in which nodular glomerulosclerosis has been observed include lobular variant of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis [2,3], Takayasu's arteritis [4], light chain glomerulopathy [5], immunotactoid glomerulopathy [6], amyloidosis and fibrillary glomerulopathy [7,8] and collagen type III disease [9]. But when nodular glomerulosclerosis occurs in the absence of any of these conditions, it is called idiopathic nodular glomerulosclerosis (ING) [10], a diagnosis of exclusion. We report a case of this rare condition in a patient who had a long history of hypertension, hypercholesterolaemia and smoking with persistent hyperamylasaemia.
